Okay, another error in the Newsday solution. Is anybody complaining directly to Stan, rather than on blogs he doesn't read? (I'm not.)

I'm giving myself credit for the Newsday time, even though I didn't get Mr. Happy Pencil - the error was in the online solution, ugh.

I'm test-solving a crossword book this weekend, and my main task is to spot repeated clues. So I think I'm going to hold off on the Sunday puzzles until I'm finished, because those extra clues will just confuse my brain...

I had errors in the CS LAT, CHE, and WSJ - one could have been avoided by checking crossings, one was a typo. Mr. Happy Pencil came out for the NYT, but I had to solve each corner separately before the middle would fill in.

Working at Sterling this week, so I solved on my lunch break. Peter gave me four future Post Puzzlers that haven't been uploaded yet... so far I've resisted them.

I'm tired, but I do think all three freestyles were harder than average today. Yum!
