My biggest time waster right now is computer games. Right now I spend a lot of time on Facebook playing Candy Crush Saga. I got up to Level 1437, but I've been stuck there for a couple of weeks! (It's a tough level.) I used to play Zynga games like Farmville and Frontierville quite a bit. Maybe I'll take up Sim City someday. (I got the Minecraft software but can't figure out how to use it.)
I also waste time on puzzles, like the New York Times crossword that I do online on Thursday night and Friday night. (That's the only part of the Times worth subscribing to!) There's also a website at brilliant.com that has challenging puzzles involving math, geometry and logic.
Speaking of time wasters, I recently got started on Twitter, where my handle is Captain Snark. (That handle includes a Canadian flag, and a rose to show I'm a socialist leftie.) I've got into a lot of quarrels about Bernie Sanders. The Bernie-haters keep pointing out that I'm Canadian, as if that disqualified my opinions about American politics, and I have to keep reminding myself, that most Americans are more open-minded than that. One of the Tweeters I follow is the actor James Woods, who's pretty right-wing.
When all else fails, I can waste time by napping.
