I'm grateful for this wonderful pastime. I keep a book of crosswords next to the toilet and work them when I plan to spend any time in there--if you catch my drift, and I know you do.
Sadly, yes.
I have a book by my bedside and do a couple every night. Last year I had a book that was too hard and I had to copy three quarters of the answers from the back.
I took a TV Universe look at the anniversary in my blog "Inner Toob" today:

A good post!
Bill, with your love of crocs, you should come up with the first "Croc Word Puzzle," maybe a word search all things crocodile in the shape of one or something.
