Working

Worked outside for several hours and then decided to do my brain work.  I was able to fill out all but "left to Popeye" which was aport.  I found it by asking google.  

When Erin was born, I stayed home the rest of the year.  I decided to do the crossword but gave up after a few tries.   I could usually fill out only a few spaces.  Well, about a dozen years ago, I decided to try again and not give up.  I am a pretty good puzzle person now!  I play a word game on the phone with Coach Fish and Laura.  Laura whips me good.  I can usually get Fish, but lately he has been "resigning" and starting a new game.  When he gets ahead, he plays out the game.  I don't think that is fair, but I just trudge on trying to whip him.
