NYT (p) 8:16 ... LAT 4:17 ... MR (p) 7:29 ... BG (p) 6:45 ... ND 4:16 ... LATB 5:00 ... CS 4:16 ... Pathfinder ~10min

Heading to Boston for the day tomorrow! Joon and I will finally meet, and I hope to fake-win the tournament. In that I won't compete, but I'll solve along and compare times with the Bostonians. Props to Ryan and Brian for giving me a lift! I suppose I'll have a recap here at some point.

Pathfinder! Love this variety and have actually solved a few recently. This one came together pretty quickly (didn't use the stopwatch), with easier clues than the ones in Twisted Crosswords. I remember the first one of Hook's I tried took three or four stabs to finish because of the different kind of logic involved.

I absolutely loved both of the 21-letter entries in Henry Hook's BG puzzle. They more than made up for ASONIA and OMAT.
