Word Monster and The Expendables

    Hey, everyone. I had a nice day, even though we just hung around the house. Carley played a game called Word Monster. In this puzzler, you have a grid of letters and drag your finger around them to make words. The catch is, you have to make a word that completes a phrase for which they have already given you a portion, like ------ and role. Maybe this fictional example would be cameo. She loves the game and returned to the app store to buy several hundred of the puzzles. You get 40 for free. She played all 40 of them today, while I was doing something constructive, like avoiding the goat. There are 5 additional packs which she bought for 99 cents each. As you might expect, I am not so crazy about it, but that is just me. I have to report that this game takes the liberty of turning on your notifications so they can send you banners on your screen. Just go to settings, notifications and turn everything off, after you download the game.
     One of my favorite games, Razor Salvation, came out with a new update today. I have yet to play it with the update, but the reload time has been reduced, I understand.
    I downloaded a free game called Combat Mission Touch. I can't say if it is good or not, as I have not played it yet, having a previous commitment with a goat. Ha, ha. I do know that you have missions to fulfill and that you drag and place soldiers and tanks in order to fulfill your mission. My thought was, hey, it's free so I'll try it.
    This evening, I watched two movies. One was Mr. Baseball, with Tom Selleck. It is a charming show, about an aging American player who gets sent to Japan to play. Didn't you like Selleck's old TV show called Magnum, P.I.? I loved Higgins, Rick and T.C.
    Later in the evening I watched the Sly Stallone flick called The Expendables. I enjoyed it. Plenty of action. It is about a group of mercenaries who are hired by The Company (CIA) to kill the men who are running an island. It is a big job, but heck, the stars include guys like Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mickey Roarke. Jason Statham is in it and I really like him, as well. I wish I could enlist his aid in the battles on Trigger Fist. By the way, I really hated to hear about Stallone's son dying. There could be nothing tougher than to bury a child. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
    Well, it's late and I have a book to finish. Actually, I am writing Notch 8 and also the sequel to my popular teen romance called The Black Mushroom. In the latter, Breeze has been taken to live with her mother, separating her and her new-found love. Will he go after her? I certainly hope so. The original story was so short that I just sent it out for free. It bothered me to leave those kids hanging in mid-air, so to speak, so I am going to resolve their romance.
    From the author's green retreat, I'm CE Wills.

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

The Sweet Run

   Hey, everyone. I have been playing quite a bit of games this weekend, as well as painting my house. Late last night I got on a sweet run on Nova 3 , the sci-fi shooter game. It's one of those games that has excellent graphics and feels like you have to advance inch by bloody inch. In a word, it is a pain in the butt.     For instance, I have been stuck on a Volterite spaceship for a month, wandering corridors over and over again like a lost puppy.     I finally cruised over to You Tube and watched a video walkthrough of the level. I eventually noticed that the guy picked up a piece of crystal from the floor in a dark corner of a 'solarium'. So, I went back to the game and at length came back to that area and picked up a crystal shard. Cool, right? I went on my way rejoicing in my heart. I had wild visions of advancing effortlessly through the remainder of this derelict ship and moving on to other exciting levels. Maybe I'd get to go to a dese...
