The Times They Are A-Changin'

I have left my post. I've abandoned my writing. I have grown tired.
All of these might have been suitable titles for this post, but the sad fact is that I have just been too busy and could never find both the time and energy to sit here and create. I will soon be retiring and perhaps I will find some time then, though to tell the truth, retirement looks even busier than working every day. There are things to repair that have been overlooked or ignored. There are things to paint that I have conveniently put off. There are bathrooms to upgrade. There is ALWAYS yardwork to be done.

Actually, I don't feel too bad about not posting anything here since August, because I appear to be the only one who ever visits this blog anyway. That's not a whiny complaint, just an observation. I haven't done much to encourage visitors or promote the site in any way. I write as an outlet, and because practice is important. I used to believe that practice makes perfect, but then I learned that nobody is perfect, so I quit practicing. But now I plan to find time to practice and if you have wandered back here again, I hope you will find something interesting to read. Even more important, I hope you will PLEASE leave a comment or at least say hello. Til then (December 19th) I won't try to write more.

Test Your Brain Age

How "old" is your brain? How alert are you? How well do you concentrate? How well do you recall? Here's a great little brain exercise. Use it often. In case you do not read Japanese, here are the instructions in English.

1. Touch 'start'
2. Wait for 3, 2, 1.
3. Memorize the numbers' positions on the screen,then
4. Click the circle from the smallest number to thebiggestnumber.
5. At the end of game, the computer will tell you how old your brain is. Just click the link.
