...do you Sudoku?...

...I know...I know...I'm probably the last person on the planet to try Sudoku...

...I really don't know why I just wasn't that interested in it...

...My Mom is a great Sudoku-er...(is that a word?)...but even so...I'd never tried it...

...then the other day while I was in the waiting room at the Opthamologist...did I mention that the Man lost his 4th (FOURTH!!!) pair of glasses in the ocean while we were on vacation...anywhooo...I had to drive because they were going to dilate his eyes...and so I was waiting (sans knitting)...and I picked up a Sudoku puzzle book...and the rest is history...HA!

...luckily it had instructions for beginners...and that was definitely me...

...I've since tried some of the online puzzles...but I definitely prefer a printed version...so that I can pencil in the little possibilities for each square...

...then I hopped over to Wikipedia to read what they had to say about Sudoku...

...and I thought it was really fascinating...especially that it was a fad over a century ago with a daily puzzle in the French newspaper...so of course I had to print that one out and try it...and it was one of the most difficult ones that I've done...I don't think that I like not having the three little inner boxes...but it was very neat that the diagonals of this puzzle added up too...

...now I just need another hour or so added to my day so that I can play...

...Do you Sudoku?

~Have a lovely day!
