Puzzle Notes
Hello Citizens of Crossword Nation,
Last week we launched our first email delivery via our new partners -- the good folks at Stand Alone. As many of you know, I posted messages on social media asking for your help in reconstructing the CN subscriber list. My previous distributor delivered an incomplete data set. Throughout the week, I heard from many of you asking "Where's my puzzle?" I apologize for the omissions! If there's a silver lining to missing subscriber data, it's that it gave me an opportunity to connect with many of you for the first time. Your patience and kindness made my job much easier than anticipated. I am grateful that you allow me to tiptoe into your homes, with puzzle in hand, every Monday night.
And now ... Puzzle Tawk!: This week's diversion may have something to do with my love for NFL football. Every fall I look forward to Sundays when I can make puzzles while watching the NFL lineup. I wear my OSI Umenyiora jersey and work while Nantz and Romo (or Michaels and Collinsworth or Buck and Aikman) call the game. When my team scores (the team that'll keep me in the football pool for another week), I've been known to spike embroidered pillows into the living room floor and belt out a fortissimo "Touchdown!". (Sorry, downstairs neighbors!) I'll be quiet again on the depressing Sunday after the Super Bowl.
Welcome to Week 489 of Crossword Nation. We present "Betting on the Point Spread" as your crossword of the week! Thank you for solving and be well, Dear Ones. Until next time, I remain . . .
Cruciverbally yours,
Liz
