Winding down…

I’ve been doing this blog for just over a year and a half, and it’s been fun and a lot of work.  During this time I’ve managed to post for every puzzle during that time, although not always in a timely manner.  But, I never got more than a week or so behind, and always managed to get back on schedule.  I have tremendous respect (and awe) for for people who blog puzzles from multiple publications, on time, all the time.

Unfortunately, it’s been getting harder for me to maintain this blog.  There’s the 3 1/2 year old and the 6 month old.  They come first and take the most time.  And then there are a few other projects that have been on hold for way too long.  I’m hoping that by gaining time from not blogging the Times puzzle every day, I’ll be able to get back to work on the crossword puzzle program that I started, probably over a year ago.

I’ll probably still post occasionally about progress on the program, maybe other random crossword-related stuff or the occasional puzzle.  No guarantees.  Anyway, thanks to any regular lurking readers who still remain.  Thanks to Amy Reynaldo for all the advice when I started doing this.  If you like crosswords and you’re not reading her blog, you should be (http://crosswordfiend.blogspot.com/).  And thanks to Amy Guskin for designing the super-nifty banner graphic for this site.  If you need a web designer, please give her a look (http://fjordstone.com/web/).

Be seeing you…
