I haven’t been keeping my site up-to-date (not that anyone has noticed) partly because I am: lazy; incredibly busy with work; afraid my scanner and computer are about to explode; spending all my waking hours cramming for the 32nd American Crossword Tournament!
“What?”, you say? That’s right! This year I am, for fun only, entering the 32nd American Crossword Tournament! For the second year it will be held at the Brooklyn Marriott, and is yet another advantage to living in this great city of New York. If you are not familiar, check out the website for the tournament here!
This is the same famed tournament featured in the 2006 documentary, WordPlay. I will certainly be surrounded by not only geniuses and crossword whizzes, but also the fun-loving elderly. I cannot wait to take some portraits during this event! I also cannot wait to basically embarass myself by my lack of skill.
Anyways, the Tournament is the last weekend in February, so hopefully soon after I will have my very own photo with these two guys:
Homer and Lisa Simpson with Merl Reagle (Famed Crossword Constructor) and Will Shortz (NY Times Crossword Editor).
Thanks to the websites I stole these images from! Also, if you are down with SUDUKO, try this new puzzle KENKEN! ADDICTIVE!
