FrenzyI’m a couple hours late to the posting party tonight because we were out getting an aquarium and a fancy goldfish for my son, and then had to set it all up. Ben has named the fish Frenzy Reynaldo owing to its propensity for swimming frenetically. The fish is white with an orange hat, much as Ben is tan with an orange Chicago Bears hat.

Hayley Gold, a Hofstra University student, wrote an article about crosswords in the digital age. She interviewed me for the piece, along with Brendan Quigley, Merl Reagle, Rich Norris, Brian Cimmet, Dan Feyer, and Matt Ginsberg. Whew! Talk about thorough sourcing. I just read Hayley’s accompanying interview with Will Shortz—she asked terrific questions and Will had some fascinating answers. Don’t miss either article.

“And the Nominees Are…” by Pancho Harrison -  9:41

Hi everyone. It’s Jeffrey back for another week for crossword madness in Fiendland.  And the updated 2010 ACPT scores now place me at number 59. Isn’t that groovy? Slow down, you solve too fast… joon is still sixteen and Amy remains in orbit at 13. (Ok, you give me a 13 song. This is why I’m not a constructor; I can never come up with more than 2 theme answers).
