tahnanBridget Jones recorded numbers for alcohol and cigarette and weight. Me? Crosswords. Times for the NYT daily crosswords:
Monday: 4:30 (no mistakes)
Tuesday: 4:43 (no mistakes)
Wednesday: 6:28 (no mistakes)
Thursday: 8:13 (no mistakes)
Friday: 16:32 (no mistakes)
Saturday: 11:43 (no mistakes)
Sunday: 21:27 (at least three mistakes, all three involving proper names, but at least two of which were fairly sloppy errors, one of them being a matter of writing a crossing word incorrectly)
Better than I was doing last year, and better than many, perhaps--but I feel I need to get faster than this if I'm going to make it into the B finals at next year's Crossword Tournament. (Stop snickering. Have you taken a good look at some of the things you take seriously? Sheesh.)
I'll keep posting my times here, so I have a record of them, and so I'm posting at least once a week.
