For those of you who enjoy crosswords (and who among us does not) here's the New York Times crossword for which former President Bill Clinton wrote the clues. It's online at The New York Times Magazine

I haven't worked it yet, but it appears to be a Wednesday or Thursday-level of difficulty.

I do not enjoy crosswords. Most of the words spoken to me are cross words.

Thanks for the link, WM. How do you know it was BC who wrote it?

I like how they have a one-page printable version of the puzzle/questions. Very nice format, although very small print.

Just looked at that crossword CW. BC's name is right there at the top of the page.Immediately under "Twistin' the Oldies".

Ah, sorry, CW, just saw your question. My husband sent me a link to a story about Clinton's puzzle. He "only" wrote the clues. Somebody else constructed the puzzle. I love crosswords, though I am not the fastest pen in the east. I may have to subscribe to the online puzzle service!

I've solved the puzzle and pretty sure I got them all (googling for some of the tougher ones) but the puzzle says the answers will be posted this weekend, and I can't find them. Oh well!

My favorite boomer update of an old hit song was "You're so veiny."

For those who have even a casual interest in Crossword puzzles, I recommend this book.
