The small joys in life

from JoeUser Forums
It took me 4 weeks ot false starts to take on the Sunday New York TImes Crossword, I finally conquered one last night.

It BEAT it! WOOT!

*plays the Rocky Music and leaps in jubilation*

Thank you Florida Key, Mr, Will Shortz and Elizabeth C. Gorski! Who would have thought that knowing Olestra, Basalt, Lilith, and Knossos would pay off.

Now, let's see if I can make it two weeks in a row.

I remember when I finished my first NYT puzzle. I was eight and my parents took me out to eat afterward. Later, I was diagnosted as a compulsive liar.

Congrats.

edit: I'm leaving "diagnosted" because it's funny. -a.

I remember seeing a 60 minutes report with Will Shortz where he said that Mondays crosswords are the easiest ones and they get progressively harder through Sunday.

Cool.

I've never even finished 5% of any crossword puzzle before...I never get the clues.
