I am a crossword puzzle aficionado. I complete a minimum of three crossword puzzles each day. I print the puzzles from USA Today, LA Times, and The Toronto Star. While the puzzles may be worked online, I prefer working with pen and a printed puzzle. I generally print a puzzle on both sides of a sheet.

I complete the puzzle and pass it to Laura. She enjoys having the solution on the reverse side—just in case she gets stuck. She rarely needs to turn the page, however, since she is a bright and intuitive puzzlemeister.
