FALLING BEHIND -- by Steve Nadis

With the holidays soon upon us and all the additional stuff that needs to be done--gift buying, social gatherings, etc. (not that I do any of that, but some folks evidently do)--things are starting to pile up for me. A clear sign of that is what I called the "Sudoku backup." I cut 12 puzzles a week out of the Boston Globe and the disposable daily, "Boston Metro," and I'm already behind by four. With two coming out per day through Friday, I don't see how I'll manage to work through that backlog and keep up with the new ones. Now I know why some people consider the holiday season a very stressful time. I never used to until I took up this wonderful new hobby on top of that other wonderful new hobby I took up called blogging.

1 - I bought my wife her first book of Soduku puzzles on a recent Thanksgiving trip. I''m not going to say they are addicting but some people were kind putt off when she kept doing them through the Turkey dinner. (Comment this)

2 - During the weekends -if I''m not working- I try to stay away from computers. Hubbie mutters something about clean clothes and home cooked meals... Well, anyway come Monday morning I have ofiicially fallen behind my blog commenting and reading. I have felt the anguish of blog pile up. It''s not pretty. Christmas may have to be cancelled this year.

P.S. Dr.Max, I''m still chuckling! (Comment this)

3 - Thanks FW for describing another kind of "pile-up" situation we should all be wary of. And thanks to you too Doc for the cautionary tale about sudoku addiction.

4 - Now, Snake......I feel truly sorry for your holiday stress. They have medication for those types of things. You might need some. (Comment this)

5 - That''s incredible. Even amazing. They now have medicine that finishes sudoku puzzles for you? Where do I sign up? (Comment this)
