Puzzle Notes

Don't use the phone. People are never ready to answer it. Use poetry.” ~Jack Kerouac

Greetings Friends, 

This year we celebrate Jack Kerouac’s 100th birthday. I’ve been meaning to reread “On the Road” whose protagonist, Sal Paradise, made an appearance in one of our puzzles of late. Today he serves as a cruciverbal inspiration who came to mind when 23-Across recently put the pedal to the metal and made some smashing headlines.

Welcome to Week 590 of Crossword Nation. We invite you to pull to the side of the road and solve “Sal Paradise” as your challenge of the week. Happy Solving!

Thank you for visiting and for supporting our little puzzle shop! Until next time, I remain . . .

Cruciverbally yours, 

Liz
