And the next challenge? A mystery bag jigsaw puzzle I found in my closet. No box, NO PICTURE WHATSOVER
Oooh that would be fun! Maybe we should start a puzzle swap where we just send the pieces, but not the box!
BTW I finished my "mystery" puzzle last night. I was lucky in that I could tell pretty quickly that it was going to be a photo of a Bears game at Soldier Field, and the perspective made it easy to vertically order the "people pieces". Ironically, I was working on it to distract me from Sunday's expectedly disappointing playoff game against the Saints.
Hard to believe new Soldier is almost 20.

It could be worse. you could be a Steelers fan and then you would have burned the puzzle.
Or a Cowboys fan, in which you'd lose the most important piece in Week 5, and the replacement pieces never fit.

Or a Jets fan. 'Nuff said.
