I do Free Cell too Karen and was persuaded to try Spider Solitaire which grew on me to a point where I find it more challenging. If you go into games.aarp.org you will find a bunch of new games to play. I just found the site yesterday and have not had time to explore it thoroughly. Your mind along with Rambi's is sharp and one would not know that either of you were not in your forties. Hope that makes your day.

Karen - I had a lot of trouble coming up with "convalescent" for a period of time. It's still difficult for me, but I get there a lot faster these days. I also went through a period of a couple of years where I would be able to think of every word I wanted except whatever one was the exact subject I was talking about. For example, in a job interview I was talking about a large project I had managed. The project was mentioned on my resume. The interviewer asked what software package we had used. I was able to tell him that, among other things, the project had involved the installation and customization of a network management product that aggregated the inputs from a whole range of other network management packages, so that their alerts could be seen on a single screen. But for the life of me I could not remember the name of the main product. During that period, if I wanted to talk about a band, say, I'd be able to tell you all kinds of things about the band, what style of music they played, some of their songs, etc., but never the name of the band. It's a specific type of aphasia that is permanent in some cases. It was very frustrating. I'm pleased to report that it gradually went away on its own. - What's-his-name
