A Little Help With 64 Across Please
My sister has been doing the Washington Post Sunday crossword puzzle for years—our grandmother was a crossword enthusiast, and we do seem to enthusiastically embrace all things related to the time we lived with her. I started doing some online last year, and during our time in the DC area I looked forward to the weekly challenge of the WP puzzle (I'll have to wait until I hone my skills more before attempting the NY Times Sunday one). What I really enjoyed is getting hints from my sister, as she always finished before I did. I was bummed that moving to San Diego would mean the end of this interaction—I asked her to scan and email me the crossword, but the likelihood of this happening, with regularity, was low. After she pointed out that I can get the Sunday puzzle online, our routine of her helping me learn the favorite, obscure puzzle words or making me realize that 'seating option' is 'booth' not 'aisle' is reestablished. Just one of those little things that makes family seem closer.
