Ugh. The Sunday NYT crossword was not fun. It took me all day to finally get to it and perhaps that was the challenge. My brain was dead.
First of all, I spent the afternoon learning Mahjong, a pretty fun game, since I won. However, my brain was too overloaded then and therefore, totally inadequate in solving riddles. If I don’t get to the puzzle in the bright hours of the day, all hope is lost. That’s my excuse.
Okay – you get this one – which screwed up an entire area. “Gentle roasts.” The clue. Hmmmm. I should have known this! Obviously I was also caffeine-deprived and didn’t recognize “decafs” as the solution. However, I appreciated the clue and will try to remember it. (Quite frankly, it’s been a prior clue. I won’t remember it.)
Puzzles will keep us going. But really – bridge will keep us ready for the retirement home, right, Friends?
I am terrible at crossword puzzles. Pretty good at Mahjong though!!
Also quite proficient with the dremel- at least used to be…
All things that take practice! Mahjong is fun! I didn’t know you played.
