One of my anal-retentive habits is that I must do the New York Times crossword puzzle every day. Seven days a week. I haven’t missed one in months. If I don’t get a chance to do a particular day’s paper, I save it for the next day. Sometimes I let them pile up and have to do three or four of them in a night. I pride myself on (usually) finishing the Friday and Saturday crosswords, the hardest puzzles of the week. (Not that it’s easy; I usually do the Saturday puzzle for a while, set it aside, and come back to it a few times before finishing it.) Oddly, New York Times crossword puzzle editor (and former Games Magazine editor) Will Shortz is, like me, a graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law. Maybe there’s a career for me yet.

Anyway, to acknowledge the “web” in “weblog,” here are some cruciverbalist links.

  1. I’ve always been jealous of crossword puzzle-able people. I have never met a crossword puzzle I can complete.
