Victory at last

Sometimes, it is the little triumphs that matter most. Along that lines, I am proud to announce that I have completed my first-ever puzzle without any help. Okay, it was the smaller of the two that run in our local newspaper. (And I am sure it is the easier one.)

And I am aware that Monday's puzzle is usually the easiest one of the week. But I have probably tried my hand at a thousand of these with no previous success. It took some serious memory work (I finally remembered that Winnie the Pooh's buddy was Piglet not Piggly) but, as the Detroit Lions would note, a win is a win.

My only regret is that it is only noon - a bit too early to open the Grand Marnier for a celebration.
