Puzzle Notes
"Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions" ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Dear Crossword Nation Friends,
Stretching! It's March and I have to keep reminding myself of this year's resolution, which is -- to stretch every day, and for longer periods of time. I am guilty of starting a game of tennis without stretching enough . . . and setting myself up for aches, pains or injury. After watching Novak Djokovic's stretching routine , it's clear that I have a lot of work ahead of me. Keeping the muscles warm, lengthened, flexible and supple -- that's my goal. Onward!
As for stretching the mind, crosswords go to great lengths to keep us on our toes. This week's mental exercise is designed to do just that!
Welcome to Week 718 of Crossword Nation. Please enjoy "Extended Features" as your cruciverbal workout of the week. Be Well and Happy Solving!
Cruciverbally yours,
Liz
