Sudoku

Yesterday on my way home from El Paso, I was thrilled when I got to be A18 on my Southwest flight. Typically flights from El Paso to Dallas go well into the C's, so when you are at the top of the A list-you get your pick of seats!

Smiling, I settle into my Exit row aisle seat, pull out the Spirit Magazine and flip to the Sudoku page. I couldn't help but laugh at what happened next. I found a magazine that I had already completed the puzzles. That is correct-I personally had been on that plane before, found the same magazine, and completed the puzzles.

I know that these planes must run the same routes all the time, but it means that little magazine took a million little trips from Dallas-El Paso-Phoenix-Las Vegas-LA and back into my hands! It has been a good two weeks since I was able to figure out all of the puzzles, which means that this little magazine has been buzzing around the US only to find me again!

I came to the conclusion that I am flying way to much, and I need to invest in my own Sudoku book so that I don't have to keep solving the same puzzles over and over. It takes away from the satisfaction of winning when you have already solved the puzzle 3 times before!

No way! That is crazy! It reminds me of that movie Serendipity- didn't they mark a book, or a $5 bill or something?
Did you tell the attendant? I would have! Love you!

Sad little confession here: I've never tried sudoku!
