Long-time followers of this web site will know that the JimH Crossword Blog is all about manly deeds and, yes, womanly words too. Who knew that this was also the motto of the great state of MARYLAND? Not me, that's for sure.
In fact, you have to be smarter and perhaps older than me for the Jan 23 puzzle (answers) to be only Wednesday-level difficult. It's been a while since CAMELOT debuted, and Hollywood Squares? What's that? (Whatever happened to ROSE MARIE?) Those fabled LAZY, HAZY, CRAZY days of summer were a few summers ago.
Oddly enough, this makes me happy. It means I can look forward to enjoying crosswords well after the "kids nowadays" have no respect for whatever cultural icons I latch onto and I'll be the one who gets the obscure clues from my generation.
