(Peggy is crying after losing a game of Boggle)
Hank: You’re smarter than anyone in Arlen.
Peggy: Well, woopty-doo, I’m the smartest hick in hick town.
I think Peggy Hill is on to something. Remember Peggy? King of the Hill mom and Boggle player extraordinaire, Peggy is one of my favorite animated TV moms. Of course, with two sons who were fond of Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butthead when they were growing up, it’s only fitting that I’d like Judge’s Peggy—not that I identify with her. After all, I’ve never been the Boggle Champion of Texas.
Peggy came to mind as we have been playing Boggle lately, and I have been bested all too frequently. And then I discovered a non-intimidating time waster online. You can play interactive Boggle.
Seems I remembered reading that working with words improves mental functioning. Although I refuse to join AARP, I do occasionally look at their Web site, where I recently found 10 steps to an optimal memory. Number two right after exercise was “Keep Learning.” And evidentally, playing games like Boggle and Scrabble counts toward improving memory.
So, I guess the few minutes I spent on interactive Boggle was actually time well spent. Ah heck, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Just stopped by to tell you I sincerely hope you made the right choice last November, I have fear that he will repeat as Jimmy Carter, I do hope not.
Glad you stopped by Rick. Boggle is fun and doesn't take a huge time commitment--just right these days.
Sarge,
I hope I did too. I'm sure you guys on the right will be ever vigilant.
Thanks for the visit.
I have never heard of Boggle but being so rotten at Scrabble I shall probably give it a wide berth. Will stick to free Texas Holdem where I am improving all the time.
