I have decided to start using my BLOG site again. I hope you will join in by contributing a story every so often (once in a while). 

In my case, I was home all day yesterday, except to make a trip to BBWALK to buy sashimi and Japanese sake. I read my book for 3 hours, watched the news while doing two Super Scrabble games by myself and finally cocktailing at night. It was a good day off. As I said, I have also decided to remake my BLOG site. I hope to get other teachers to contribute news to us. So, wish me luck. ITM here's one of the puzzles. Can you figure out the BLANKS? Scroll down for the answers.
