Puzzle Notes
"Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see" ~Angelina Jolie
Dear Subscribers,
I love maps. Always have -- starting with the colorful 7-foot, pull-down maps our geography teacher pointed to in middle school. Before the Internet changed the way we researched puzzles, I looked forward buying a brand-new World Almanac each year. The map section never disappointed. I'd dog-ear the map pages while researching world and state capitals, rivers, bays and straits. I was intrigued by countries, their shapes, borders and neighbors. In crosswords, we've often seen ATLAS punnily clued as "Country store?" But that's exactly what I loved about an atlas -- a map collection that allowed you to carry the world in your knapsack. It inspired many a puzzle, including our newest offering.
