    I think about and do strange things. I do a lot of logic problems puzzles. During the day, I work on them and at night I try to remember all the people, places mentioned in the puzzle. It helps me fall asleep. It's kinda weird.

    Here are 2 more people with animal names. Perhaps someone else can add more...a little game for our forum members.

    John Cougar Mellencamp
    Tiger Woods.

    I love puzzle games too. Mah Jong, Backgammon, and Fishdom. Also, those wonderful word search games.

    I ponder the wisdom of boring holes in the artic ice to see how fast Global Warming is effecting the polar ice caps. Now maybe I am being pessimistic but I think perforating a line of holes isn't very bright. It's kind of like the line of holes between postage stamps.

    I think about things that will clean my house without me and without having to pay a person. Like fiipping a switch that sucks all the dirt out of the carpet. Or unloading the dishwasher. Or carrying my laundry up and down the steps and folding it and putting it away.

    At age 72.5, I think of how I can enjoy life to the fullest without doing so much work.
