CROSS EYED

I used to do the NYTimes Sunday Crossword (in ink) every Sunday.

When we moved out here and could not get the hard copy paper, I went on line and paid for a subscription to the daily puzzles.

Somewhere along the line I quit doing them.

I was busy. I was blogging. I had to read. The sun was too nice outside. I had to play with the dog.

I think the plain fact is that I had a bit of crossword fatigue.

Today, one of the bloggers I read (Kevin Drum) posted about his frustration as a new crossworder.

I found myself downloading today's puzzle and, as used to be the case, working on it (and solving at least four words) while it got printed.

It is now over 2/3 done. I have a really good chance at getting 100%.

And I am enjoying it too!

I might add that I have taken three long phone calls today, read up a storm, went outside and did some needed work, I played with the dog.

There was plenty of time for everything.

I might just do a puzzle a day.

The easiest are on Monday and the most difficult on Saturday.

Sunday varies.

Back on track with an old pleasure.

In ink.
