Games

My first thought was that I was going to have to demonstrate my lack of fine motor control in a 3-D role playing game situation. I'm so glad I don't. Games, however, are a different story. I played MahJong until the wee hours of the morning and got very good at Freecell. And, I'd just been told by my daughter about the games available on Facebook. In fact, she was pretty astounded that I was even on Facebook (I guess that's a plus for 20 for 2.0---I can seem a little more current with my daughter!). At any rate, she demonstrated the word games there, which I found both challenging and fun. I did try Yahoo!, and I suspect that I could grow to become more proficient at those, but it's hard to concentrate in the middle of a staff room. And, in addition to the benefits of games for kids---there's great benefits for older folks too. They're good brain exercise, which is recommended by doctors as a way to stave off loss of memory.
