I WAS THINKING…
about Sudoku. I was introduced to it in 2005 when vacationing in Ireland. It seemed to be the rage there. I tried doing one, but thought I could never figure it out. Now 15 years later, it’s one of my favorite pass times. Every time I begin a new one, I have the same thought. This is impossible. (I like the hard ones.) Once I get a few numbers, I’m encouraged, until I come to a dead end. So, I leave it and come back later. Don’t ask me why, but then I can usually finish it.
It makes me wonder how many other impossible things I might be able to do?
I’m reminded of what Walt Disney once said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”

Use shaving cream for an instant spot remover. Wash up with water or club soda.
