I am an addict. I admit it. It started a year and a half ago when Cathy introduced me to the pleasure it could bring. I started slowly with one or two at a time. Now I can't get enough and at times it consumes me to the point I don't want to do anything else.
What is this evil obsession? SUDOKU puzzles!
They're free from the Internet and I print out as many as 40 at a time and keep them on a clipboard on the dinette table where they beckon me to forget housekeeping, reading or watching TV--the things "normal" people do in their spare time.
I started out at the Easy level, then moved to the Medium level where I stayed quite a while. Then I took on the Hard ones and find I can solve most of them without an error--though I goof up enough to know I'm not quite ready for the next level--the Evil ones.
Once I start one it's hard--yea, nigh impossible--to stop. If I find I've made an error and can't find it on my own, I look that puzzle number up on the website (www.websudoku.com) and fix it. I just can't quit until it's neat and complete.
So I'm warning you! Once you learn how to do them and find that it brings you pleasure you may get hooked, too.
About Me
- grmapege
- I was born and raised in Greensboro, graduated from Greensboro Senior High and Duke University. After teaching in Medellin, Colombia, I married, then divorced Bruce Clapper after having 2 beautiful daughters--Cathy (Stewart) and Kim (Harrison). In later years I worked at the family business, Greensboro Printing Company, from which I retired in 1996. I'm ready for a bridge or Scrabble game any time. I waste a lot of time playing bridge on line. I enjoy theater (as a performer as well as a spectator). I've adopted a little (mostly) terrier named Murphy who is a great bed dog.
