All caught up! Everyone will get to watch me solve Saturday's NYT puzzle in a couple weeks. The sub-2-minute NYT Monday was not recorded, unfortunately. FWIW, while practicing on old puzzles last weekend, I hit 1:49 on two separate NYT Mondays.

Here's the deal: I'm saving up the Saturday, Sunday, and Monday NYT puzzles so I can solve them on camera on Tuesday. Unfortunately, that means I have to avoid the blogs until then for fear of spoilers. Let me know if I miss anything important! (...that doesn't relate to the NYT puzzle.)

Time for me to work up those pencil skills again. Might have lost a step, but I'll get it back. Heads up: I may not be solving and posting times this weekend. Please try to contain your disappointment!

So has anyone else been solving Longo's King Features puzzle? (Alex is aware that the Butler hasn't been able to get it since last week.)

Neville will post the video of me solving his LAT puzzle on his blog later tonight. I recorded all of my solving today, but I don't think I'll share the rest, because really, who cares?

Before tonight I could not have told you what Canada's highest mountain is, but two consecutive crosswords just taught me that factoid.
