The NYT Sunday crossword puzzle is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in the Sunday Times.

It's thematic approach this weekend is so stupid it's almost not worth bothering with. I didn't find it clever, I found it nonsensical.

Don't ever publish another one of these again, NYT...

1. Oh, please tell with spoiler alert in the subject.

I don't do the crossword puzzles, but my recently deceased father used to construct them, sometimes for the NYTimes.

We all used to collaborate on themes. I miss it (and him.)

2. Hmmm.....

I would take a look to see what you are talking about, but after your description, my ego would take a huge hit if I couldn't solve the puzzle.

3. Your ego will be fine. You'll just dismiss the puzzle.

Hoping for better next week...
