Today I completed my second ever Sunday puzzle. Last week's was my first, and it took me just over two hours! (Not all in one go mind you. I often have to set the Thur, Fri, and Sat puzzles down, and let things 'stew'.) Today, I was able to get it done in 1h15m. The icing on the cake is that I now have a 7-day streak--my weakest streak by far, as far as NYT Games are concerned, but I'm so pleased with it! It's true what they say--practice makes perfect when it comes to the crosswords 😊

re: Gesso, not many Bob Ross lovers/viewers here, it seems. 😉 re: the grousing about how difficult today's puzzle is with it being a Tuesday and all, to borrow from the world of marathoning and paraphrase one of its more popular adages, "The puzzle owes you nothing."
