So I looked at. I bet I know what this is, me thinks. Correct number of letters, at least. We shall see.

Recently I've been doing the WSJ and NYT acrostics online, instead of printing them and pencilling them in, and I'm finding that I'm solving them much faster this way. MUCH faster. This one by Mike S. took me about 17 minutes, as I recall, and this weekend's NYT acrostic was just under 9 minutes. I couldn't believe it myself! (Though it was a case where I somehow knew quite a few of the answers right off, without any letters.)

I learned about M a couple years ago from a muggle's post - cruise director Bob, I think.

This forum reminds me a bit of a quote from Kin Hubbard that I once delightedly printed out and hung on a wall for our yearly Mud Day at school --- I'll have to paraphrase here -- Much of life consists of our making mud pies and showing them to people ---
So in that spirit I'll say: I did it too!
