#20 FINIS!!!!!

I'm sure this exercise was not a "choice", but if it is ever offered again with new "things" to learn, I would probably chose to participate. It was a learning experience and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The pace was relaxed but still had an implied deadline which kept me going so I wouldn't get behind and it involved just the right amount of exploration of each topic.
I know I will benefit from most of the explorations and so will the patrons. So, thanks to all of you for providing a motivation for me.

I've worked crosswords for years and added sudoku recently. I did try various levels of both of these games on Yahoo! Daily Games. I don't think I'd like sitting in front of a computer for that amount of time. I'll stick with the newspaper and pencil and writing board and big, comfortable chair and a beverage to suit the season. The Funbrain and Primary Games sites I will add to my increasing knowledge of games for kids--a very common question which I usually answer by showing them the Yahoo! page and Nickelodeon. I did try several of the games on the suggested sites and thought they were fun and easy. But I cannot see myself sitting down for hours of a multi-player, multi-layer game.

This exercise I thoroughly enjoyed. I love maps and will be "playing" with this often--maybe, very often. I visited every house I've ever lived in, places I've hiked, cities around the world and the Olduvia Gorge.
