I'm back! My longest ever crossword hiatus lasted from Thursday morning to Wednesday afternoon, with the exception of the MGWCC on Friday afternoon and a few puzzles in a book Tuesday night while watching TV. I caught up on about half the puzzles I missed, and will get to the rest tomorrow. Maybe.

I'm taking a few days off from puzzles - opening night is tomorrow, and several visitors are in town. Auto-posts are all scheduled, and I'll see you on Tuesday or Wednesday!

I finally got a chance to do the Crosswords LA puzzles. Good stuff!

As I'm sure you know by now, the Crosswords LA puzzles are now available. You may have even solved them already! I'll put up a post on Saturday to share times, though I probably won't have a chance to solve before then.

Some exciting puzzle packets are coming our way this week. Trip Payne has delivered the three bonus crosswords for backers of his upcoming extravanganza. In tribute to Trip - and in order to get a little more enjoyment for my money - I won't be speed-solving those.

I will be speed-solving the puzzles from last weekend's Crosswords LA, which I expect will be available, like last year, for a small donation on Alex's site. I'm planning to put up a special post to share times and discuss the LA puzzles. Once they're available, I'll let you know when the post will go up, and we can try to get the puzzles done by then. Probably not before this weekend.

Guest puzzle by Brad Wilber at BEQ.com - I test-solved it, so I won't chime in with a time.
