Hi Michael,

 RH> We don't get TV Guide so that puzzle isn't available for me.

 ML> I never got TV Guide, but I have been in malls and doctor
 ML> offices!

Didn' know either of the above had TV Guide available for the public. I
was at both my dentist and orthopedic doctor today, neigher one had TV
Guide but the dentist had "People" magazine (with a puzzle). Orthopedic
doctor had others, no chance to see if a puzzle was in one or not.

 ML> have this entertainment to keep us going for a few hours.
 ML> We got it done and were quite pleased with ourselves.
 RH> Whoops! Must have been interesting.

 ML> Kind of. A challenge and an amusement. Perhaps all puzzles
 ML> should be this way, but the problem is that if one particular
 ML> one has a theme that is way out of my expertise, ...

A food related theme might be do-able, as long as the clues weren't too
obscure. Found out Rachel Ray is going to be in Raleigh next week--I've
better things to do with my time and money. (G)


 ML>  We'll be flying Southwest soon;
 RH> one thing I do try most times I fly is the puzzle. Sometimes I'll just
 RH> continue one someone else has started, sometimes I'll do a blank one.

 ML> I do whatever comes to hand. At the beginning of the month,
 ML> it's likely to be virgin. At the end, murdered most foully;

Unless the flight attendants have grabbed it and put in a replacement
magazine.

 ML> Even up front it is amazing how illiterate people can be.

Isn't it tho! It's the dumbing down of the educational system.


 ML> There has to be a way short of waiting for him to
 ML> debilitate himself and then say, see, I told you so.
 RH> I know, that's why we're talking of making a trip up there early next
 RH> year. Maybe take up an ice chest full of prepared meals like I did
 RH> after he broke his hip.

 ML> That lasts only a short time. It's the attitude change that
 ML> seems to be the bigger obstacle.

I know, but this would take some of the stress of meal prep off of him.
Have to figure out what they would like and be good for them. Pasta
sauce would work, as long as he kept track of how much pasta he cooked
so Mom didn't go overboard on her carbs. IIRC, the mini meat loaves were
another hit, maybe a simple beef stew would be good as well. We've got
some time to decide.

...  It works!  Now, if only I could remember what I did.
