Rog, I felt in the giving mood. CCB, Bob and Sondi. Right on the mark! Michele 1 and 3 look good. Manxman, 1 and 2 make the grade. So you guys are in the right area of the country. The answers all start with the state abbreviations. Bob, glad you like the puzzle. I have complete faith in our Boomers to get through this.

To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self. I wonder what's on television...?

Bob, for #3...name...IDentify...maybe That sounds about right...or possibly IDentity.

Bob As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.
