My first response would be I would just take my smart phone, but on second thought, I'd recommend taking some of the novels and/or short stories of the great
ABC's
of Science Fiction:
Asimov, Bradbury and Clarke.

Thank you! That's where I'm at right now: I always bring a crossword book with me. It really helps. But I was thinking about some alternate ideas, lol.

My tech world stops with my laptop. I.e., I don't carry a smart phone, so that relegates me to hard-copy stuff only.
I was thinking some sort of omnibus book with short stories, jokes, puzzles, riddles, cartoons, math problems, famous quotes, trivia **** etc. would be a cool thing to have handy, lol.

That’s brilliant! I dunno if it exists, but it would be cool. Like an adult Highlights magazine

Right! Just a mixed bag of stuff to keep it intellectually stimulating. There could be different volumes, but they'd all follow the same general pattern.

Do you like cryptic crossword puzzles? They're my favorite.

[fgadmin]

ZolotoyRetriever — 9 months ago(June 19, 2025 07:12 AM)

Yes, I love those, but for the most part I'm doing the standard crossword puzzles, such as the NY Times Sunday CW puzzles.

My phone obviously.

I'm not a phone person, but if I were that'd be an excellent idea.

I don't do my phone either. I rarely have it with me. I bring a paperback book with me for just such occasions. I much prefer real books to anything with a screen.
I carry a copy of Good Omens, a book I've read easily over a dozen times if not more, but it's very catchy. I'm on my 4th copy of the book because I've worn the others to pieces!

No, I did not. Is it good?

Yes. I thought the series was pretty good. Great casting. They changed it from the source material, which was sad, but that seems to happen quite often.
