Hello April! It really snuck up on us, but even though I am generally a winter creature, I kind of like the longer days and of course the start of baseball season. I went to my first Orioles game the other night (which they won in a walk off), and I am getting ready...

Back home in my beloved Baltimore, which is still reeling from the tragic event early Tuesday morning. While awful, it could have been much worse, and the city is strong and we'll bounce back. I have very close ties to the incident from several perspectives -...

Greetings from the Amtrak Capitol Limited somewhere in West Virginia on my way home from Chicago. Work trip delayed the blog this week - sorry to keep you all waiting so let's get to it! Name: Oh, geez! Size: 15x15 Entries: 70 Difficulty: Easy (my solve time: 6:30)...

Happy Pi Day! I woke up this morning and checked my email and realized I forgot to solve this week's puzzle and post the blog. I thought about doing it yesterday, but kept putting it off... Name: Not Now! Size: 14x15 Entries: 67 Difficulty: Medium (my solve time:...

Greetings and welcome to March - hope you are ready for the Brier, the Madness, the Green, or the Bunny. With all the events happening this month be sure to set aside time for crosswords - including this week's. Let's go! Name: Falling Behind Size: 15x15 Entries: 76...

I'm back from a nice but too short trip to "the upper left" where I ate way too much and got to see the ferry to Victoria a couple of times a day - I hope to ride it next time I visit. It's been tough to get back in the swing of things at work, but at least it's...

OK - I'm rushing to get this done before I head to the airport; otherwise it's likely not going out until sometime Thursday. We had a brief brush with winter weather yesterday that threatened several inches of snow but we mainly got rain with a few snowflakes mixed...

"February made me shiver..." The first week of the second month of 2024 is in the books and while it's seasonably cold, I am not complaining (yet). I'm getting ready to go on a short vacation to the west coast next week - with luck, I'll get the puzzle solved and blog...
