the mind softens, oozes into mush

i just completed 2 rounds of my favorite annoying time-waster, Text Twist, on Yahoo! Games. They give you six letters, and you have a minute or so to make as many 3- 4- 5- and 6- letter words out of them as possible. Once you get the 6-letter word, you "qualify" to continue to the "next round," which really means nothing. So I got the 6-letter word RABBIT, then a bunch of the 3- and 4- letter words, but couldn't get that damn 5-letter word...

Next round, I figured out PARLAY, and a few 3-letter words, but couldn't get either of the viable 4-letter words. One of them, it turns out, was PLAY.

Once you figure out the 2 i DIDN'T figure out, you'll see why I am ashamed.

Blogging is tricky. There are so many things you CAN"T talk about. And there are things you WANT to talk about, but end up too tired to write about, like the time that Erik Garcia and I found the Kosher Thai restaurant closed at 11am when we wanted an early lunch. It's a great story.

I've become so darn lazy. Not a good sign.

R' Shimshon, perhaps you just have to daven more in English...My cousin said two of her friends from CA just moved to Bat Ayin. Hillel and Chaya (she'll be recognizable by the twins she's carrying). He's apparently studying to be a Bunny. I hope and wish that I get to meet them during my visit.

Hey, thanks for the hot tip. I'm confined to my bed with a painful case of the J-flu. This game has proven to be a great distraction for the afternoon. I fear, however, that this girl needs something else to keep her occupied tomorrow. Oh well, you know what they say about tomorrow being another day, and all.

I'd recommend that kosher Italian place, where we wound up, to anyone who happens to be in the vicinity (Boca), and, is up for some cheese, pasta & vegetable dishes or sandwiches.
