Rain, rain comes our way! Blows the trees and makes them sway! I still managed to do my neighborhood loop in spite of the raindrops. I just walked where the drops were not!

Other good news--my new prostate-related medication only costs me about 20 cents per pill per day. Beats some of the PD pills I take that can cost me (when I hit the donut hole) 30x as much (about $7 per pill). It's boggling to stop and think of the millions of pills that are ingested each day all over the world. The millions of pills cost someone (patients and insurance companies) billions of dollars. And there are still millions upon millions of people who are ill and can't afford to buy the medications that they need. Some have to choose whether to get food or medicine, and can't afford both--not a pretty picture!

Plan to sign up (again) for the dance class that starts in April. I'm looking forward to moving more and loosening up from a fairly sedentary fall and winter. Been walking more and regularly, soon will be dancing, and then who knows what will follow.

Leaving the fogs of fall and winter--moving into the cleansing rains of spring.

I tried the second level of the Just Words game--tough going over the easy level. The algorithm that sets and plays the various choices the computer makes (as an opponent) seems biased in a couple of ways--such as not distributing vowels in a balanced way. I played two games at the 2nd level. I got trounced on my first try. I played more carefully in a 2nd game and thought I had won, but something happened right on the last few moves that cost me the win (did the computer cheat?). We shall see! We shall see!
