  3. When did you last work on a jigsaw puzzle?
  4. What’s puzzling you right now?

My probable favorite movie of the year (I’m probably going to see at least four more before year’s end) is Puzzle, which I saw in the theater and which is available on DVD and (I think) some streaming platforms.  “Why do we do puzzles?”  “To control the chaos.”

Have a wonderful weekend!
