Confession: I usually start the day by inking in a few answers to a crossword puzzle. I find it helps my brain get from that groggy dreamworld to the real one where I need to operate a moving vehicle and talk to people in complete sentences. Various puzzle books are scattered around my house, car, and purse. I like doing them while waiting in the drive-through line or in the theater before a movie starts. Wednesdays mean a new NY Times crossword in the OK Gazette; they're by far the most difficult, and also the most rewarding puzzles to complete.

I just stumbled across this little tidbit of crossword history on Neatorama. Click and learn.
