I’ve been a Times crossword puzzler for over 35 years and moved from the print edition to digital about ten years ago. That’s when I discovered your column. It’s for everyone who enjoys solving crosswords because of your ability to connect with beginners through experienced puzzlers.
I’ll leave it here for today. Cruciverbalist…it’s a good word to say. 🌞🌻

Of course, Parks & Rec will remain a favorite of mine. Does anyone else remember his Nick, the plumber, character on a 2001 episode of Will & Grace? He and Karen Walker (Megan Mullally, now is real life wife) played a hilarious scene. Chemistry.
