Trill: The musical equivalent of an epileptic seizure.

WEBSITE of the WEEK: I have a pretty good head for details. Which is one reason my greatest fear is Alzheimer's Disease. Well, list member Lavonne T. did much to allay that fear when she forwarded me a link to http://www.freebrainagegames.com/. There are about half a dozen simple tests you can do and then your "brain age" is summarized. If the number is lower than your age, you're probably in good shape, though the site is quick to say its results are not necessarily to be taken seriously and only with good health and nutrition and etc., etc., etc. So, anyway, I supposedly have the brain of a person 22 years younger than myself. (I keep it in a jar next to my computer.)
