I have never been very good at crosswords. Even when I get the “right” answer it rarely aligns with the other “right” answers I come up with. About the only time I do crosswords is when I’m flying somewhere or another passing the time reading an in-flight magazine. I’m always relieved when the plane lands, not because we landed safely but because I don’t have to continue on being frustrated by the crossword…at least not until the return flight. One of the "benefits" of being middle-aged is the ever increasing forgetfulness. This excuse comes in very handy when attempting crosswords. In fact it comes in handy for a lot of things. Now just exactly where was I going with all this…?
