Have a good day all.

Thanks Sandy for helping me get my brain working this morning.

I have a little brain-game-a-day calendar on my desk and today’s also had a word problem like this… only it was to go from CAT to DOG.
Sandy, your brain game is far superior to that dreck. Thanks!

Thanks, Kevin, Sue, and Lindsey.
And Lindsey, Kara and I put together all the content for the mental_floss “Hooked on Books” page-a-day calendar (way back in 2003), and co-wrote the “Big Fat Lies” calendar too. Maybe we’ll get to put together a Brain Game calendar one of these years!
