Sudoku

That clock is at it again. The one with the big red numbers projected on the ceiling over the bed. No, it wasn't S O S this time.

Half awake, I needed to roll off my sore shoulder. Half way into my roll, my attention was caught by 6:16. Guess what my fuzzy brain came up with this time? Sorry, I know you can't do that. No one else on earth has a brain that works like this one. And I can't totally blame age, it's always been like this. My brain told me, "That's not right! You can't have two 6's in the same row!"

If you need that explained to you, you haven't caught the Sudoku bug. I must have it worse then I realized. Looks like I need to get a life. We should listen to our own minds. We can learn a lot in an unguarded moment when the mind has wondered off and come up with a thought all on it's own.

I think.....?

Attention All Men

OK Fellows, here's a tip for all you guys living with a woman. The scene starts with your significant other watching T.V. and the show has reached that important point where the who-done-it is revealed. And you have just thought of something you have to tell the lady in your life. Now she is likely to say something like, "Please, just a moment, I want to hear........" Afterward, if you haven't forgotten what was so important in the first place, she gives you all her attention.

Fast forward to that moment when the man asks her some question, just as something on T.V. catches his attention. What does Mr. Man do? Hand gestures and a shushing sound with an ear stretched all the way to the T.V. He cant' listen to the answer to his question yet, and it doesn't occur to him to be polite. After all she's just his and he doesn't even realize he's treating her like some pet. That's what you do to a dog. Even a cat will ignore you and don't be surprised when the little lady gets angry.

Attention! That is called rude. We are not animals that respond to hand signals. Don't shush us with a gesture or point at something you expect us to deliver into your royal hand!

Now I have just one question. Do you want us to bark or hiss? Because we won't be purring at this kind of treatment.
