I found signing up for Medicare to be incredibly easy. I went through Boomer Benefits and the private part was easy as well. The discouraging thing I found was how hard Medicare Advantage plans are being pushed.

Billy Strings at Ryman Saturday night was the best concert experience I can recall. So wonderful. Bob Weir sat in the whole 2nd set. All GD songs the 2nd set and many of my personal faves. We had such a good time with the youngest son and his wife in Nashville that I booked a trip out to...

My SIL works for Mondelez. She assures me that the company holds their customers in the same high esteem as they do their employees.

#waffle100 5/5 A time limit makes a lot of sense. For now, I am enjoying investing the time in solving these two-phase puzzles optimally. I would say it is good game design that it can be enjoyed different ways.

We are going to see Billy Strings at Ryman with my son & DIL next weekend (they live in Nashville). I am giddy beyond words. Billy Strings AND Ryman = double-bucket list stuff for me. :)

The rules say all puzzles can be solved in 10 swaps. I've done all of the last 4 in 10 swaps.

I am doing this and having fun with it (in my own way, I guess), but without a time limit, one should never have anything less than a 5-star result, yes? Solve all the words and minimize the swaps before doing the first swap.....(?)

Arrived today. Set up time from cutting the tape on the box to getting a pretty good download speed was 15 minutes. I literally set the antenna on its stand in the driveway - plenty of trees around, but a decent view of the (high) northern sky. The router is on the covered front porch. For now...

After a year of waiting, our "dishy" (Gen 2) will arrive tomorrow. I don't have any good idea on how I am going to install it. I anticipate tree issues. Lots of neighbors and other folks in the county receiving theirs as well.

I coincidentally saw this earlier today - excellent. JPJ looks pretty good for 76! Hope for us all.....
