Are you up for a puzzle? I haven't offered one in a while, one thing and another. I did this one last night, and was pleased to be able to.
The letters provided are each used once.
And my PT has been pressing me to drive. I think he's concerned that I might get too nervous if I don't just go ahead and try it. We already established that I can get in on the driver's side.
So I decided to make a destination drive, to the voting dropbox to cast my ballot, thereby getting two birds.
We're voting in the primary for Governor and various county and local offices
I did other administrivia, too, voting for Board members of my HOA, donation to local rescue squad, studying yet another increase in my gap health insurance before sighing and filing. All my civic duties done.
I read this yesterday
I shouldn't admit it but it took me a few seconds to understand the cartoon. Then I laughed! I haven't read Howards End, either. Only saw the film. You are doing so well. Good on you.
ReplyDeleteThe bar comic was posted on spoutible by a rabbi friend of mine in real life.
DeleteEven with a cartoon that obvious it took me a moment to get it. I would think Howard’s End would be a wonderful read. Sorry about skipping the puzzle. I’m a bit obsessed with NY Times puzzles every day and need to wean myself from them. I do them all and then go back to crossword archives. I’m working my way up and am in 1999 now.
ReplyDeleteI may have been an enabler with the puzzle, sorry!
DeleteI do a crossword every morning while eating my breakfast. I've never done one like the one you have in your post.
ReplyDeleteI marched in a May Day protest yesterday evening and there was a really good turnout. "Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Donald Trump has got to go!" :)
I'm all for that chant! Try this puzzle and see if you like it.
DeleteThe cartoon is priceless!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? Takes most people a minute.
DeleteI didn't get the cartoon at first because for some reason my eyes saw the word "rabbit." Read it again and laughed.
ReplyDeleteThere's another joke about a priest, a preacher and a rabbit!
DeleteLove the cartoon!
ReplyDeleteCool, no?
DeleteI've never read Howard's End, but I did watch the recent (well, 2017) British TV series made of it with Hayley Atwell and Matthew Macfadyen. I didn't particularly enjoy it because all the characters annoyed me.
ReplyDeleteThere are better Forster productions, where the acting helps us accept the annoying characters as doing their best.
DeleteI am amazed that you are allowed to drive already - you are healing fast! Sounds like the brain fog is lifting too. All steps in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteIt helps that it's the left hip, so the main issue is getting in and out safely. They wouldn't have signed off on driving this soon if I'd taken any of the narcotics though.
DeleteI vaguely remember that movie, not the content really, but having liked it. Happy driving to you.
ReplyDeleteDriving is today's frontier.
DeleteLiked the cartoon.
ReplyDeleteYou are just getting 'er done!
My stretch today is going to see the dock that came with a log cabin. This will be my second visit. I am going to have to stretch my mind to be able to see the positives. Wish me luck, please.
That cabin, oh. Let's hope it all grows on you.
DeleteYes to driving. My stretch goal is to go looking for ducklings at the lake this morning. So far the sun is hiding behind clouds, so not as much worry about that (due to meds that say no sun), and I'm only a bit of breathing limited feelings so far...so perhaps I can walk around the lake a bit. That's a big perhaps, but I've my trusty phone along; and will at least come home with luch from the senior center which is closed still but giving the COA lunches out still.
ReplyDeleteLet us know how your expedition goes. And lunch makes it a destination trip.
DeleteI read "Howard's End" years ago and enjoyed it a lot, for what it's worth. I've always liked Forster, mostly as a result of Merchant-Ivory movies.
ReplyDeleteI think the movies do a great favor to his novels. They really lift them above their quality. Nice. But I'll still read the original today.
DeleteSo glad you did a bit of driving and voted too. I have actually read Howard's End many years ago. My eyes are not great so reading is difficult for me now.
ReplyDeleteThat's tough, but maybe audio books can fill in?
DeleteCongrats on doing your civic duty. I am not much on puzzles, I do wordle every morning with my husband that's it. I just got a couple of books at the thrift store hopefully it is better than the one I am reading right now.
ReplyDeleteCathy
Let us know what you're reading. I'm always interested.
DeleteI loved Howard's End with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson!!
ReplyDeleteI hope your drive went well. Having a destination with tasks makes all the difference.
Great cartoon! So nice to hear how fast you are healing!! :)
That production is much better than the original novel, as I'm reading it so far.. Their screenplays were so much better pointed and edited.
DeleteI'll push on, though.
You must be doing verywell -- three cheers! Good news on the driving. And that cartoon is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDriving's not a favorite activity, but it's necessary where I live, so needs must. The cartoon's hilarious!
DeleteWell done again, Boud. The first after such surgery are milestones really! Another one accomplished.
ReplyDeleteThey feel big at the time.
DeleteI love puzzles so I copied that grid and the letters and got it worked out. Congratulations on the driving.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it. And well done on solving it.
