Thoughts From a Clicker
By Tiny Ruisch
For a man that is old and retired with nothing to do, I sure have a struggle finding time to do it all. I’m fairly active in several organizations with quite a few weekly and monthly obligations. When I’m asked to do something, I usually have a hard time saying no.
I try to write one or more articles for three different newsletters. Luckily, most of them are easy to recycle and use on one of my personal blogs. I’m also willing to admit that I sometimes look back on stuff I’ve written ten or fifteen years ago and update them with a new title. I don’t consider it cheating.
So why do I try to keep so busy with workshops and writing? I believe that it keeps my mind sharper. They also keep me busy doing a lot of research which gives me a chance to learn new stuff. Maybe I should apply to Jeopardy.
So, what does a person with a time shortage do? In my case, start another feature for the monthly club newsletter. I’m doing just that this month with the debut of the “Clicker Quizzler”, a monthly puzzle. Each month, I plan to feature a different type. You can look forward to solving some of the following:
• Sudoku
• Word Find
• Cryptograms
• Trivia Questions
• Anagrams
• Riddles
• Logic Puzzles
• Crossword Puzzles
And many more. I’m hoping to get feedback from club members on what they like so that I can tailor the monthly feature for the most readers.
Put your brain to work and see if you can solve my inaugural puzzle found elsewhere in this issue. If you need a hint, feel free to contact me. If you ask on the Club’s Google General Discussion group, everyone can benefit. I’m also available at the weekly Clickers Q&A or via e-mail.
Thanks for reading and keep on clicking.
