I'm several days behind reading the other blogs... maybe I'll catch up today.

Did everyone know that Elizabeth Gorski has a new crossword blog? Jim Horne slipped it into his blogroll, and so will I.
...Cool, Liz has another NYT New Year's offering! I found this weekend's WSJ puzzle, but put it under Friday for the sake of organization.

I may not get to the Sunday puzzles until I arrive in San Francisco Sunday night. Home for the holidays! (Though Chanukah's over.)

So yesterday was my one-year "blog"giversary. I missed it because I checked the date on Monday night -- when it was still 12/14 -- and thought, "OK, it's not the 15th yet". Whoops. Thanks for visiting, and I'll keep posting my times as long as I'm not bored with the daily puzzles (and the real blogs that cover them). No promises about additional content... but who knows.

Wow, BEQ's Chronicle puzzle killed me. It's the hardest CHE puzzle in the year I've been keeping track. "Blog"giversary coming up soon!

I've got a new puzzle project besides dethroning Tyler in February... Patrick Blindauer at Sterling hooked me up with a gig writing a word-search book for their bargain books division. Once the paperwork goes through, I'll be coming up with 166 fun categories to strew about in a sea of letters -- or rather, have Crossword Compiler strew them for me. If you've got a set of words you've always wanted to see in a word search (hah), let me know...

When I saw what Joe Krozel had cooked up, I started solving with only the Across clues - type, Enter, type, Enter, etc. The only names I needed help with from the Downs were Diderot and country singer Bryan. Put in Sarah for Hughes out of habit, briefly forgot Resnik, and I always think Mrs. McKinley was named Ada. Can't believe I haven't learned that one by now...
