 I’m sorry to have left you in the lurch.  The main problem is failing eyesight. That doesn’t help with knitting either.

Wordle seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel. I suppose there are only so  many five-letter words in the language. Yesterday Rachel and Ifailrd, with high scores elsewhere,  Today Mark and I got twos

I heard a little talk on the radio about children’s books. The speaker was younger than I am and mentioned some authors I don’t know. She omitted two: Beatrix Potter and Lewis Carroll. How is that possible?. How did an editor fail to catch it? Alice is more quoted than Shakespeare these days.

   I’ll try to write again soon. I’m expecting new glasses. That might help.

    Jean, I am so happy to have you back and posting! I agree about Wordle stretching rather far for new words. Best wishes from The Other Kristen (currently in Galway, usually in NY State)
