FOOD COMA: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Thanksgiving time again, and I can guarantee that the ole' Biz Quig will be entering his food coma roughly 4:30-ish, I think. It's well documented (by me at least) that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, mostly because of the excuse to eat all day, and the other reason is pecan pie. I hope you and whoever you might be celebrating with have a safe and happy holiday. Whether you're in the same room, or on each other's screens.
Thanksgiving is also (typically) the day that I start my end of the year drive. Regulars to the site (nearly 12 years now! Holy shit!) know the drill, the puzzles here are always going to be free. Forever. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them. All, I ask if you've been coming and you're financially able, a small donation of $15 helps the site run along smoothly over the course the year. And like we always do with these drives, everyone who chips in will get bonus puzzles, both Sunday-sized, one themed, one themeless. Supersized BEQ. PayPal or Venmo (@TheBEQ) preferred, otherwise, email me.
I always mention this, and this is super important. Nobody should feel obligated to chip in. There isn't a subscription. This appeal is only if you've been enjoying my work and can contribute. Seriously. I'd be doing this for your entertainment anyway. Just by coming to the site and telling me this brightened your day is enough.
And lastly, one randomly selected donor will get a book of mine as well as a 2021 subscription to their favorite independent puzzle. Drive ends on December 31. Thanks again to all who can chip in.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
