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.## ping list message

A SPECIAL NOTE: At Apple Pan Downy’s request, I forwarded her freepmail to me to the entire ping list. (You are not special. Nor am I. Unless you are Apple Pan Downy, then you are. Just to let you know what is going on. She is fine and has power, but is recovering from a bad storm.)

If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

4 minutes good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes exceptional
90 seconds superior

For some reason I keep humming Moon River.

Good way to start the day!

The pianist on the TV series theme recording was John Williams.

I didn’t know that. I’ve got the Peter Gunn CD and still play it on occasion.

I’ve watched a few. Except for the music, it wasn’t much of a show, imo.
