Rubik's cube as a self esteem blanket


In December I bought a large Rubik's cube at Global Village. (That's the place where the attendant that I tipped looked at me liked I kicked his dog.) I scramble it and solve it several times a week. I don't do it because I need the practice. I've been solving the Rubik's cube since my zero-friend days in elementary.
I solve it now as a different type of therapy: Sudoku therapy. I absolutely SUCK at Sudoku. The game is on my phone and I've been playing at the basic level (which is below "easy") and still needed to use the help key. While giving a midterm today I finally solved an an easy - not basic - puzzle with no help.

I don't know which made happier: That my two guys sections were grouchy because I had foiled their normal cheating or solving the puzzle.

  1. I have always enjoyed SuDoKu - it will be a part of my retirement "brain gym"
