I've done the update (see new post). It's a neat coincidence that you reminded me when you did, as I had intended to get to the new post today, having been reminded by seeing former President Bill Clinton on C-SPAN just a short while ago and thinking that he is perhaps the most famous crossword regular around! Anyway, thanks again. Hope you enjoy the 2008 crop of puzzles as much as the 2007 batch. HT: Thanks for the reminder. I’ve done the update (see new post).

We went so far as to have two copies of the NY Times delivered to our Greenwich Village digs each day to prevent a battle over who would get to work the puzzle. I discovered that many jazz musicians and singers shared this passion. Since the inception of my Blog and other distractions, I've been stashing a small mountain of delights to printed out for pool side fun. -Carol Sloane I have been a crossword puzzle addict since the mid 1970’s when the great jazz pianist Jimmy Rowles introduced me to the intoxicating diversion.

Yes, I could still complete the sudoku and LA Times puzzzles provided by the Norwalk Hour, but my morning cup of joe was not quite as enjoyable without its daily companion, a fresh NY Times crossword. My jones for the Times crossword was so intense that I went through the motions of inking in Monday's squares. I did not repeat that hollow exercise the following days since it only emphasized the challenge I was missing. By Friday, my mind felt mildly dulled by the four day hiatus. I am thrilled to be starting a new week--complete with an unknown New York Times puzzle each morning...
