10. I am a crossword freak

I do the Sunday NYT every week, in ink, and quickly. And the local daily duos.
I have noticed that the Friday NYT puzzles, though smaller, are quite difficult.
11 years ago I started dated the lady who has been with me since. I work construction and was eager to show her that I had brains.
She thought she was the "queen of crosswords" so I had her print out two copies of the one she did daily, from the Houston paper.
Ready, set, go. I was done when she was only half way through. I got laid.
Too bad that the NYT charges to get their puzzles. I may have to buy the paper tomorrow to see what you got.
I live in So. Az. and we have a guy down here named Merle Reagle who puts out a great puzzle every Thursday in the Tucson paper.
Here's to you puzzler.
