THEMELESS MONDAY: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
The Indie 500 crossword tournament was this past weekend. One of these years, I'm going to get down to D.C. and partake in it. Attending this year was not an option as Tabitha had a piano recital the same day, and if you think I was going to miss that, you haven't been paying attention. I held back tears for the 90 seconds she played "The Whale Shark" and "Bike Ride." Couldn't be a prouder dad. But I digress. The Indie 500. This tournament is ably run by some of the brightest up-and-coming or just flat-out strictly-hardcore independent puzzling minds today. Your Agards, your Kravises, your Pascos. Know what I mean? Anyway, Katie Hammill, my neighbor (when I was living in Arlington, that is) won the whole shooting match. And that makes me happy cuz she's a solving juggernaut, ayup, and it's good to see her win one. So, if you don't mind, take a moment to throw a couple clams Indie 500's way and get some puzzles will ya? All right.
Oh, and speaking of tournaments: Boswords has just been announced. August 6th in Boogie Down Boston. More information coming when available, but, please, schedule your vacations accordingly.
