What Do You Do To Stay Sharp?
Like many here, I fancy myself rather bright, but sometimes I feel a little less-than-brilliant. It's easy to fall into a rut and not challenge oneself and an unchallenged mind atrophies quickly.
I do crosswords from time-to-time, friends of mine do Sudoku - but I can't get into that.
Lately I've decided to commit Poe's Tell Tale Heart to memory. After two weeks of effort I can recite about 1/3 of it verbatim.
How about you?
