KEYWORDS: todayscryptogram
You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.

The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).

Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.

PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.

You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!

I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.

You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Solution to our last puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the words should appear.

Yuk Yuk!!

The ‘meathead’ that my oldest daughter married either had been married or was the sperm donor when he was about 16 or so and had a kid so she was about 14 when he married my daughter and she had a kid at 18 (My wife and both my daughters and granddaugher waited till about 25 for first (Easy for me to keep track of the eldest age that way)

Anyhow the first kid had a kid and my wife declared that she felt the girl was her ‘other’ daughter BUT once I informed her that she was now a Grandmother she backed off.

It took a while for me to realize that the handsome mug staring back at me in the mirror was NOT the same person the general public saw.

I used to assure my grandkids that they were lucky - my grandfather always looked ‘old’ to me....

THEN it dawned on me..... <: <: <:

(Am sure you all have went through the drill of looking at a recent picture and wondering how that ‘old, fat dude’ got in the picture, I don’t remember him/her but funny they have the same ‘hat’ that I have....)

Lots of clues in this one. As for the declaration, I pointed that out to Mrs CG. Once.
