Last night I watched a documentary called Word Play, about crossword puzzles and about the man, Will Shortz, who edits them for the NY Times. The guys in the movie could finish a puzzle in two minutes. Of course I couldn't even wait for the movie to finish before I ran to the table in the dinning room where the Sunday Times was scattred, looking for the crossword puzzle. I Couldn't come close to finishing it. I'm not a person who is naturally inclined to do puzzles. I think I lack a certain amount of curiousity. I spent about 45 minutes working on the puzzle today (Monday is the easiest day). I eventually decided that I didn't need to (or, just couldn't) fill in every box. It looked so easy in the movies.
