I'm interviewed at Word-Buff.com. Shockingly, it's my fault that the publication is not as timely as it might have been...

My (paid) constructing debut, in Simon & Schuster's Mega #8, comes out today! No, there aren't any more in any pipelines (yet).

And I understand that my most loyal reader (besides Mom) had a debut this week as well... Congratulations, Joon and Caroline!

Wow... Francis Heaney gets the biggest "wow" of the day, but Martin Ashwood-Smith wowed me too. I know there's another double quad-stack coming up in the NYT, so that one'll have to settle for third-ever.

Overnight flight back to NY, six hours of rehearsal -- I'm taking today and probably tomorrow off from puzzles. Not all puzzles, of course, just the ones we're talking about on these internets...

I did the Post Puzzler a few weeks ago on an advance copy. The printout didn't have the author's name, and I wouldn't have guessed it was KMT's!

Had a blast with some Bay Area crossword folks who came over for brunch yesterday. Photo!
