I wonder how impossible it would be to have some variant with unspecified word lengths. Probably a minimum of 2 or 3 letters, but other than that, anything goes. I wonder how handicapping the scoring would work.

I saw this bumper sticker twice today. Anyone know what it's about?
The accomplishment part of seeing this was that it was from behind the steering wheel of a stick-shift car. I drove M's car today, in slow traffic and fast, up hills, even starting on hills (not perfect yet, by any means, but I have time to figure it out better). I did ok, then dropped her off, and drove home... My first solo on stick shift! Yeah, it wasn't perfect, but I did it (and while she was in the car, I managed to do all the stuff while making conversation about non-driving stuff, too.). Onward and upward! New skill I'm pleased to have (finally; this is something I've been thinking about for years. Crashing the car was the kick in the butt to do it...).

Turkey Day cooking goes apace. I made herbed (sage, onion, garlic, white pepper) rolls, turned some of them into sage stuffing (with walnuts), put into the turkey, which is baking now. Neeps and butternut squash are mashed, pies made (pumpkin, apple-pumpkin, apple-cranberry). Also made a loaf of dark chocolate bread, just for an experiment (from the DK bread porn book). If there are leftovers, some major chocolate chocolate bread pudding... Still to make: cranberry sauce and salad (maybe some green beans?). Still to do: laundry, straightening, setting the table, making the apartment look halfway decent. I still have 2.5 hours, so I should be ok.
