OK, some crossword puzzle clues are a bit obscure. And, who wants easy ones all of the time? The Sat and Sun AM NY Times puzzles are hard! And they are fun, my favorites. But, what about those I found this week?
"Old French measurements"
"Blame: Scot."
"Former coin of Egypt"
They seemed a bit of a stretch. And isn't it just coincidental when different puzzles, The Times, The Globe, The Observer in the same week have the same clues? I wonder if the puzzle makers collude.
I still love Crosswords (difficult ones, not the usual everyday newspaper ones) and Kakuros. Sodukus (or however it's spelled) are OK, but I prefer the others.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
