The most difficult part of the week – where I am out until 10 and have to go to work the next day on Monday and Wednesday – is safely past, and we have kept up with our crosswords! Wootles. Mostly we’ve been lucky in our random choices from the NYT puzzle archive, but today’s (January 13 2008) was a disaster. We learned that grass can be awned and you can be sprung from jail by a bailsman. Worse still was the theme: “Baby talk,” meaning “common” phrases where an “L” has become a “W.” So, “LWest we forget,” “LWake Victoria,” etc. But who the hell is Art Linkletter? Oh, I see: Canadian-American radio and television personality, born 1912. WTF.
