I have always loved word games – like boggle and scrabble.

As a child I learned to do the crossword puzzles in our newspaper every evening with my Dad. That time became a family game to see who could guess the right word first. My brother and I carried on my Dad’s passion for crossword puzzles.

After the brain surgery my neurosurgeon insisted I read and do crossword puzzles as soon as I could as part of my recovery.

That was the easiest recovery he could have prescribed for me :)
