My 85 year old Dad has an interesting hobby. He constructs crossword puzzles. He's been doing it since 1950 and has been published in every major U.S. newspaper and magazine.

The pinnacle for constructors is to get a puzzle published in the Sunday NY Times. My Dad is 3rd all time, with 85 Sunday puzzles with today being his 85th and almost certainly his last due to health issues.

If you get a chance, check out todays NY Times crossword puzzle by A.J. Santora, that's my Dad. It can be found in the magazine section of the newspaper.
