1. I get the daily paper mainly for the NYT crossword

its a great way to relax in the evening.

2. I enjoyed that show yesterday.

It was interesting to see how a crossword puzzle is created and the many obscure 'rules' which are followed.

I especially liked the 'Sunday Morning Breakfast Test' for words which aren't used.

I personally don't do crosswords that often, but, my Sweetie does them constantly.

3. Wordplay is both a delight and very humbling.

Seeing people work sunday NYT crosswords in 6 minutes is jaw dropping. I thought my one hour standard was pretty good until I saw those guys. Stewart is a hoot. Clinton was so-so.

4. And NOT Shrubbie, Reagan, Limbaugh, Robertson, Rummy, and so on.
