Mr. Rogers, It's You I Like - 3/7/18

On February 19th 1968, just a few months before I made my own debut into the world, the classic children's television show "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" first aired.  I grew up watching his show, and even after I had really out-grown it, I remember turning it on once in a while during a rough day just to hear someone say "I like you, just the way you are."  A 50th anniversary special premiered last night, and I'm pleased to be able to feature today's Pennsylvania puzzle about a fun tribute right in the neighborhood of his Pittsburgh television studio:

Dinomite #2: Won't you be my dino?  (You'll note that the related web page is broken, but should still be able to find what you need).

Play it By Ear - 3/6/18

Today's puzzle takes us to Colorado.  I can't say I have perfect pitch, but I do have a pretty good ear for music.  I've always found the connection between music and physics to be pretty cool, and wish I knew more about music theory.  Here's your chance to get a little introduction to the field:

Thing One or Thing Two? - 3/5/18

Today's puzzle from Arkansas landed in my inbox last Friday, which was the 114th birthday of Dr. Seuss.  I'm happy to be able to share it with you as a belated tribute in memory of the man who has helped generations of us learn to read:

To Sit or Not. Not to Sit or To.

And the Winner Is ... - 3/4/18

I used to go to the movies all the time, but over the years with the rise of many more options for watching at home (along with the rising price of the tickets) I've found myself venturing out only rarely.  So I wasn't really surprised when I realized that it was Oscar time and I hadn't seen any of the movies.  I was surprised, though, that I'd never even heard of at least half of the Best Picture nominees.  I'll probably tune in for at least some of the ceremony tonight ... even if I'm not informed enough to make my own picks, it's fun to see what people are wearing and whether things will go off without a hitch (that was some "hitch" last year).  Maybe I'll even spot a movie I'd like to see.  With today's California puzzle I give you the opportunity to do a little homework for:

The 90th Annual Academy Awards (2018)

Some Days ... - 3/3/18

Well, I've goofed up two days in a row now, with a late post followed by a link to nowhere.  Here's hoping that I can get today's Tennessee puzzle posted without any issues.  Judging by its title I must not be the only one with occasional "post"ing difficulties:

Hit the Bricks - 3/2/18

Today's California puzzle is an interesting little exercise in arranging:

Winter is (still) here - 3/1/18

Today's puzzle will keep us right here in central New York.  I apologize for the late posting - I seem to have conked out last night before I took care of this item on my to-do-list.  Fortunately I have today off due to a "mid-winter" break in the form of a nice long weekend.  Mother nature is doing her best to cooperate - my daily weather forecast e-mail is showing a snow forecast of 9 inches for tomorrow.  You can guess how I feel about that.  It should be a good day to do some quilting and puzzling - my favorite tasks when:
