Crosswords for Years

Years ago (2006 or earlier) I started making copies of those nice, long crosswords that are in the Woodford County News Bulletin and the Sunday Journal-Star. I would work on one for a few nights, and then set it aside. By that time there would be a new one to work on. Gradually that stack of puzzles reached about 50. So now every night, if I don't have a new one to work on, I go back to the old ones. I keep them on a clipboard beside my bed. After I have worked on one and can't go further, I put it on the bottom of the stack. Since I'm a person who likes to patiently watch ants carrying bits back to their nest holes, I enjoy knowing how long I've been working on a puzzle. The oldest one so far was one I started in June of 2006. I just finished it last month. Usually I get back to a puzzle every three months. It's amazing how I'll be able to fill in words that have been stumpers for years. Also, I've learned to just erase a word here or there, and voila! the other answers fall into place.
