I feel fortunate that I solved tonight's Wordle at all. Only had 2 letters, & whatever I tried, it didn't work. Stared at it for a while, & finally got there in 5. And how did you do? Wordle #1,331 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟨🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This started out well, but soon turned into the dreaded Wordle "not this letter" trap. Almost had a 3, but ended up with a 5. And how did you do? Wordle #1,330 5/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟨🟩⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@MikeDiPietro7 @OuchYOMH August 1974, Cleveland, right after Rush was signed to Mercury Records.

@t_m_lunde @OuchYOMH Don't have the hat anymore, but I still have the dress (and it still fits me); and more important, I still have the original LP on Moon Records, & I'll never part with it!

If my mother were still here, today would be her birthday. She taught me to love books, to be courteous, & to value ethics. I wonder what she'd make of a world where cruelty is applauded & autocracy is on the march. I'm sort of glad she didn't live to see it.

Well, this was an example of a guess that worked out surprisingly well. Part of me doubted this could be the word, but I went for it, and it was. I solved the Wordle in 3. And how did you do? Wordle #1,329 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@JVMonte2 There is only one correct answer to this question: Rush.

This was a Wordle I had to stare at for a while, and try different combinations, before finally the answer came into view and I solved it in 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,328 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@nut_history Sam Etcheverry!

Not my best game of Wordle. Every choice I made turned out to be the wrong one, although each one did get me closer. Finally solved it in 5. And how did you do? Wordle #1,327 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟨🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Another Wordle that went step-by-step, eliminating letters, using logic, & solving it in 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,326 4/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@Fobrichx Yes, Geddy has always been appreciative of my efforts, & he has often acknowledged me. As I've said, that's very unusual; most rock stars are transactional (like most politicians). If they need you, they get in touch. But Rush were never like that.

@ssingerss You are correct: I not only played it but championed the band and helped get them the attention they needed (& deserved) to get signed to a US label. And we've been friends for 5 decades!

@fhardey @HumbleAnthem The feeling is mutual. Rush fans are like a big, extended family. And we stand up for each other.

Yes, it really is Black History Month, so let's remember a widely admired journalist & sportswriter for the Black Press-- Frank "Fay" Young. I wrote about him for @sabr; read about his amazing life here:

Well, this time, the Wordle required some process of elimination, along with some logic. Glad I could solve it in 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,325 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟩 🟨🟩🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@jayfrog214 That's what is so bizarre, because the guys and I have kept in touch for years (50 years, to be exact).

@TCBGP Wow, he always speaks so highly of you, and this is the thanks he gets!!!😉
