This weekend's Sunday puzzle in the New York Times is by me! *unseemly happysqueebounce activity* It's gotten damned good reviews in the crossword blogs (well, okay, the one), and Will Shortz kept a good number of my clues and only somewhat modified several others, which is always heartening. If you can't get today's paper you can see the thing here; be warned, however, that the page includes the answer. If you're a Times subscriber and use the Across Lite software, you can also download the puzzle for solving here, or pick up the PDF here.

Did I mention the squeeing? Yeah, I don't anticipate this feeling ever going away.

*checks the iPod app* So it is! And a lot of fun so far (it shows up in the app at 6PM, and I work on it as kids allow).

There's a comment of mine in the Wordplay blog for today's puzzle, complaining about the cluing for OCCULTISM. Otherwise, it was fun.

Will let popbirdie know forthwith! He and mom (when she was alive) enjoyed the last puzzle they published of yours. Not too easy nor so ridiculously hard in the entertainment trivia department they have to ask ME!). :)

Woohoo! I'll have you know that I actually went out and spent $6 for a copy so I can play this. ;)

Congrats again on the publishing of your puzzle! Especially with such little editing by Mr. Shortz. *hugs*

ETA: And unlike Mr. Shortz, do you know the meaning of "'illin". ;)
