New Year's Eve Nonsense - 12/31/20

Since it's New Year's Eve I figured I'd pull out a couple of thematic puzzles I've shared here previously.  From Nebraska, let's have a little:

New Year's Nonsense

and from Germany:

Knocking on New Year's Door

Today we're visiting a brand new puzzle from California.  I have to say I don't think I ever thought I'd be advocating anyone trying:

It All Started ... - 12/29/20

Today's California puzzle was recommended to me earlier today and happens to be perfectly themed for today, as I've been thinking back to when:

It all started...

Friday will mark the 10th anniversary of this blog and although I had seriously considered letting it go at that point, I'm willing to keep it going a bit longer.  You can expect to see a lot more reruns from the early years, but I'll do my best to keep adding in new and as yet undiscovered puzzles as I can find them.  If everyone who reads this would be willing to recommend a puzzle to me every month or so I'm sure I would have more than enough.  I hope you'll consider helping me keep things going.

Double Jigsaw -12/28/20

Today I'm rerunning a Washington post I shared in this date in 2017. I always enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles during the holidays,  and did an old favorite one with my daughter on Christmas night. We even got my husband involved towards the end.  I have lots of others I might still dig out, so this could be a holiday marked by a:

Today's central New York puzzle taught me something I didn't know, and made me laugh at the same time.  I bet you're not expecting a holiday puzzle with a title like:

Humble Holiday - 12/22/20

I didn't realize it, but apparently in addition to being the winter solstice yesterday was National Crossword Puzzle Day.  For the last 200+ days my son and I have worked on the New York Times crossword puzzle either together or in tandem.  We make a good team and it's been a fun diversion.  Today's puzzle takes us to California for:

Harmony's Humble Holidays - December 21st

I'd also like to recommend this intriguing non-geocaching puzzle crossword that I worked on as part of a recent puzzlehunt.  It's a diagramless crossword, meaning that you have to figure out the dimensions of the grid and construct it yourself as you work out the clues. (I'll have to see if I can find a geocaching puzzle with one of those).  I've only done a couple of them, so it was fun getting this one to work out. Even when you think the puzzle is finished, there's more to do, and I found it quite entertaining.  

Follow the Directions - 12/21/20

 Today's New Jersey puzzle was recently recommended to me, and I enjoyed it.  Just:

OOPS - 12/20/20

In the process of going back and getting all of last year's featured posts bookmarked I realized I managed to miss a day in the week before Christmas ... so this one is being posted a bit late, and backdating it.  It looks like I did the same thing back in 2016 when I first featured this Minnesota puzzle appropriately entitled:

OOPS 

A Long Winter's Nap - 12/19/20

 I got my grades turned in so I'm just about ready for a long winter's nap.  Today's puzzle takes us to Nebraska, and would be a fun one to do with any mini-puzzlers in your life:

Word Wheel - 12/18/20

Today's brand new California puzzle was inspired by the work of Eric Berlin, whose puzzles I've enjoyed myself.  His New York Times crossword puzzle from11/29/20 was one of the better ones in recent memory, in my opinion.  I purchased his "Puzzlesnacks" book but ended up giving it to my mother-in-law as a present when she found herself without any puzzles to do earlier during the pandemic.  Take a spin at the:

Tomorrow we'll ... 

P.S. For anyone who's interested, we did wake up to just under 12 inches of snow yesterday. The sad part is that I'm not sure any of it will actually stick around another week so we can have a white Christmas.  A foot of snow is nothing to sneeze at, but we're sure happy we're not digging out like the folks about an hour south of us who got about 40 inches(!)

Happy 250th! - 12/16/20

Today marks the 250th birthday* of Ludwig van Beethoven, so in honor of the occasion I'm re-sharing this central NY puzzle I first featured back in 2012:

Happy Beethoven's Birthday! -- Schroeder

(12/16/53)

*Apparently they're not positive what day he was born, but since he was baptized on 12/17/1770,  it seems like most sources think he was born within a day or two of that date.

Dr. Who? - 12/15/20

The choice of today's Ohio puzzle was sparked by the storm of controversy over a certain op-ed that came out recently.  If you missed the story, a quick google should fill you in on:

Check, Please! -12/14/20

Today's Georgia puzzle is one that I shared back in 2015.   It's the last week of the semester, so I'll be giving and grading a lot of exams.  If I had one bit of advice for my students about their work before turning in their math tests it would be:

Zodiac message solved! - 12/12/20

Today I'm sharing a tough California puzzle I first featured back in 2014.  I was fascinated to learn yesterday that a long-undecoded message left by the Zodiac killer has finally been cracked.  Here is a video made by one of the codebreakers that gives an easy to follow explanation for how it was done.  I think any of us who enjoy solving puzzles can relate to the processes that are described, and be really impressed at the results they were able to achieve!  It's only a shame that the decryption doesn't lead them any closer to the identity of:

Julcachelender - 12/10/20

Over the years I have enjoy seeing different versions of puzzle caches that built around advent.  The ones I am recalling have been in Sweden, although I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they are found in other places as well.  One form is a single cache that requires you to solve multiple pre-existing puzzle caches (not always holiday-related), with specifics being revealed one at a time when the cache page updates each day.   Another version is a series of caches where a new one comes out each day.  I've found both kinds to be a good source of fun.  Here's one that celebrates another Swedish tradition:

Today's puzzle from Canada's Alberta province is one I featured way back in 2011.  I received my first Christmas card in the mail the other day, and it's gotten me thinking about what I'll do for our cards this year.  After spending the last 9 months pretty much just sitting in the house, it's going to be a good trick to come up with enough interesting news to put together this year's:

Christmas Tree GeoArt -12/4/20

Yesterday was the perfect day to drive a few miles up the road to the tree farm and pick out my Christmas tree.  The sun was shining, there was some snow on the ground (and none on the roads) and it wasn't too cold. Mind you, I don't have it decorated yet, but at least I've taken the first step. So today I thought we'd travel to Michigan for the first puzzle in a series of 33:

Happy Cachedays - 12/1/20

I am excited to have spent some time caching this weekend. I did a newish Adventure Lab with a friend (distanced, of course) and logged the bonus cache as my first "unknown" cache since March 1st.  Who could have imagined back then what the next 9 months would bring? I can't believe it's December 1st already.  It was always a special day to me when I was little, since it marked the first day we started getting ready for Christmas.  My mother would get out the advent calendars for us to start opening and haul the "portable" record player upstairs and set a stack of  Holiday LP's for us to play as my sister and I went to sleep.  Mitch Miller and the gang always came up first.   For the last 22 years we've had another reason to celebrate today since it's the birthday of the "A" in teamajk.  Whatever you may be celebrating today, I hope you'll enjoy today's Connecticut puzzle:

Happy Thanksgiving! -11/26/20

Over the years I have featured a lot of puzzles with a turkey or Thanksgiving theme. As I was looking over the possibilities for today's post I saw a lot of ones I had already shared but I also happened to notice a sequel to one featured back in 2018, which took us to Australia.  Since you can never have too much turkey on Thanksgiving, I'm sharing both the original and the previously unfeatured sequel here today:

Shall we play a game? - 11/22/20

Today's puzzle takes us to Australia.  We've always been big game players around here, and we recently went back to a game that we hadn't played in a long time.  The jury is still out on whether we're actually enjoying it or not.  It may turn out to be a bit like:

Gingerbread Men - 11/21/20

Today's puzzle takes us to Connecticut.  This time of year I end up watching all kinds of baking on television.  This past week's viewing included a gingerbread construction contest, several cookie challenges, and my favorite, the "Holiday Baking Championship."  I'm not a huge fan eating gingerbread myself, but one of my very few memories of my grandmother is making gingerbread men with her.  I hope you'll enjoy this:

Final Jeopardy - 11/9/20

Today's puzzle takes us to California. I was saddened today to hear of the passing of Alex Trebek. I have a lot of fun memories of watching "Jeopardy" with my parents and when the local TV station had a contest where you could win a chance to be on the show we all went and took the placement test in hopes of being chosen (Dad was the only one of us to score high enough to get in the running, but he wasn't the one picked to appear on the show).  It sounds like they still have enough taped shows to run for a few more weeks.  I suppose the show will go on somehow, but it's going to be pretty sad to watch Alex's final:

Today's puzzle takes us to California.  My father was very interested and active in politics, and had an encyclopedic knowledge of political history.  I have many memories of watching the televised election returns with him and learning a lot from his commentary throughout the process.  It's too early to know for sure what's going to happen tonight, and how long it will take for the outcome to be clear.  It's certainly not been a typical:

Mmm ... cake - 11/3/20

Today's puzzle takes us to Oklahoma.  My big accomplishment yesterday was baking my favorite chocolate cake (the "Reine de Saba" from Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking").  My mother used to make it for her French students when I was a kid and I would routinely request it as a birthday cake.  I only bake one about every 10 years or so, but I figured this was the perfect year to indulge.  I have definitely not mastered the art of French cooking, but it did turn out well in the end despite a couple of minor mishaps along the way.   If you ever go to all the trouble to make one, I'd recommend doing like I do and make a double recipe so you'll have a two-layered cake.  It's so dense and fudgy I'd never try it as a:

Go Dodgers! - 10/29/20

Today's cache takes us to California.  Back in April I wrote a post lamenting the fact that the baseball season had not started, and reminiscing about the team I grew up rooting for, the Los Angeles Dodgers.  I was born in a suburb of L.A. (although I lived there less than a year before my parents moved to Tennessee) and I claimed them as my team when I started watching them at the age of 8.  Once my husband's beloved Minnesota Twins had been eliminated from the playoffs this year I started rooting for the Dodgers again in earnest, and was thrilled that they won the world series the other night.  I can't believe it was 32 years ago when I was in college and rooting for them in:

It's hard to believe that it's October 1st already.  Our leaves have rapidly started to fall, and before long I'll be picking out a pumpkin for the front porch.  I chose today's Minnesota puzzle in honor of this "gordgeous" time of year:

To the Teachers - 9/30/20

Today's recent Maryland puzzle really struck a chord with me, because it was written in honor of a favorite teacher.  My parents were both teachers, and my father was an Education professor in charge of teacher training for many years.  I hope you'll think of your own favorite teachers while perusing this puzzle written:

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

I spent a while this evening poking around looking at Minnesota puzzles, and came across several I want to go back and spend a little more time with before sharing them with you here.  I have to say that this one made me laugh, and I think it's a fun way to celebrate our Minnesota Twins winning the Central Division and getting to keep playing past the regular season.  I'm glad they're providing a few more chances to (virtually):

Wait! What did he just say?!?! - 9/23/20

Today's puzzle takes us to South Carolina.  The NFL football season is now well under way, and even though our team is off to a rotten start, it's good to see them back in action ... some things are the same, but a lot is definitely very different.  I hope you'll have fun with this little puzzle from a simpler, mask-free era:

Wait! What did he just say?!?! 

(If you enjoyed it, you might also like the sequel, which I featured back in 2015: Ummmm...Come again?!)

A Geocacher's Breakfast - 9/22/20

Today's cache takes us to New Jersey.  We've recently been having a lot more breakfasts for dinner at our house.  Last night's repast was bacon and eggs and banana pancakes with real maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream on top. Yum.  What would you like for:

Strawberry Fields Forever - 9/20/20

Today's cache takes us to Arizona.  I am not much of a drinker, but one of my favorite treats at the beach is a frozen strawberry daiquiri.  There were no beaches for me this summer, but a few weeks ago when the grocery store was selling packages of strawberries on a buy 2 get 3 free sale it occurred to me that we should try making some ourselves.  We pulled out the 30 year old blender and I found a recipe that used the coconut rum  we had on hand (we usually mix it with pineapple juice).  Yum, yum!  After adding a little dollop of whipped cream on top I almost felt like I was on vacation. That's why today I'm appreciating:

Third Time's a Charm - 9/18/20

Today's California puzzle is another that I tested pre-publication.  I liked it because it taught me something interesting that I'd never seen before, and I was able to work through it without being tempted to ask my husband to write a computer program.  Since I was working by hand I made a mistake or two, but the:

Climb those steps! - 9/14/20

I had a good time this summer finally starting to put out a series of puzzles loosely based on a Nancy Drew theme.  I've been perusing all of the titles of the books and figuring out how I could work them into puzzle caches.  So far I'm about half way through and I have ideas for a few more to come.  One of the titles was "The Mystery of the 99 Steps" which presented the perfect opportunity, if I could manage to pull it off.  It took a lot of planning, but I've been pleased with the results.  But the puzzle I'm point you to today (which I haven't shared here before) is the original California one that inspired it.  I still have my old composition-style notebook with all of my work written down for Kablooey's:

45-Step Puzzle Cache (KPC2009)

Are you ready for some football? - 9/13/20

Today's puzzle takes us to Canada's province of British Columbia. We're just about ready for the launch of our team's football season tomorrow.  The ceremonial Viking horn has been dusted off and given a test blow, and everyone's Viking garb has been located except for the dog's.  He's currently wearing his Twins shirt, so that may have to suffice.  How about you,:

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend.  As I have for the last several years, I spent a good portion of it working on puzzles in Mark Halpin's Labor Day Extravaganza with some friends.  It was very challenging, but a ton of fun.  Today's puzzle takes us to Australia, where the CO was visiting.  While there he placed both an easier and:

It's Relative - 9/5/20

Today's puzzle is from New York, but the location falls in a bit of a gray area as to whether you'd call it "upstate" or "downstate."  To me, it's "down," but to those in NYC, it's probably "up."  I guess it's all relative, just like the puzzle itself.  Is it:

The Taste of New Jersey - 9/2/20

It's one of those age old questions ... what's your generic word to refer to any carbonated drink:  pop, soda, or coke?  I grew up well into "coke" territory, but married a "pop" guy, and now live in a "soda" state.  Today's New Jersey puzzle discusses a couple of local beverages and encourages you to:

Going Downhill? - 9/1/20

As I worked on today's California puzzle the other day, it occurred to me what a strange language we have, where a single phrase can have two pretty much completely opposite meanings.  I know in the past I've referred to a situation as "all downhill from here," meaning that we had gotten through the hardest part.  But on the other hand, if things are "headed downhill" then they're definitely not good.  Just think about that the next time someone says:

It's all Downhill from Here!

Two Letters from My Bank - 8/31/20

Today's downstate NY puzzle was passed along to me recently.  It got me thinking about the fact that we've gotten so little actual mail lately, it's been pathetic.  Several days a week the truck just drives right on by without stopping at our box.  At this point I'd even welcome:

The girl dogs had little bows on their heads and the boys had milk-jug lid hats.  I totally lost track of that friend after high school, but I still hang those things on my tree every year and think of her.  So, I figured why not have Christmas in July here:

10 Years! - 6/30/20

Today marks 10 years since I started caching.  If you'd told me then all the places it would take me and the great people I would meet, I never would have believed it.  I still think the best thing about it is that it's a hobby we create for each other.  I've gotten so much enjoyment from other puzzlers that I'm really pleased to be able to share their efforts here.  This particular puzzle (first featured way back in 2011 for my first caching anniversary), besides being in theme was one of the local ones that sent me on a search for more puzzles outside of the immediate area that I could work on in the hopes of gaining enough practice to figure out what was going on.  The "puzzle-solving safari" that I referred to in my log for this cache is what ended up leading me to start this blog (which will have its own 10th anniversary in January):

I spent the weekend working on another online puzzle hunt with friends (remotely).  It was a lot of fun and if you've ever wanted to try that sort of thing it's open for almost another week for anyone who'd like to get together a little team to participate: Puzzle Potluck 3

Today's puzzle from the UK might require you to do a bit of:

A Dad Joke and a Dad Riddle - 6/21/20

It's Father's Day and I hope all the dads out there will have a great day.  Here's a recent Texas puzzle from a series that's grown to at least 30 caches now:

Dad Joke #22

If you prefer something a little meatier, here's a puzzle I shared back in 2015 which features a riddle that was one of my Dad's favorites:

Herky - 6/20/20

I love geo-art with all different kinds of puzzles.  Today's Iowa puzzle is from one like that, a "Hawkeye" geoart that was recommended to me recently.  It originally had125 puzzles ranging in difficulty from 1.5 to 5.0 and I had fun looking through a bunch of them.  There are definitely some I want to go back and spend some more time with.  For today, I'll leave you with this one:

Wondrous - 6/19/20

I thought I might share with you another cache from my first geocaching adventure to California back in 2015, but it's really hard to choose among all of them. So instead I thought I might reshare one that I actually placed during that trip.  It was great to be able to repay those great puzzlers with a little puzzle of my own:

Word Association - 6/18/20

It was five years ago this week that I took my first big solo caching adventure out to the San Francisco Bay area.  I had a huge stack of solved puzzles to work on finding, but also was able to meet up with many of the CO's I'd gotten to know via e-mail over the previous few years.  The other night I was looking back over my photos and rereading a bunch of the logs for the caches I was able to do.  What a great trip that was!  Since it doesn't look like I'll be traveling this summer, I'll have to content myself with reliving some previous adventures.  Today's fun puzzle was first featured back in 2013, and is one that I made the find on five years ago today:

Digital Carrots - 6/7/20

Today we travel up north to Canada for a puzzle in a series I had fun doing with friends several years ago. We'll be celebrating my husband's birthday today, and that always means one thing:  I'm baking a carrot cake.  Fortunately I won't have to use any:

A Night at the Museum - 6/6/20

Today's puzzle takes us to Australia ... and a few other places.  I haven't gone through all of this one yet (I admit the virtual reality stuff makes me a little seasick), but it's definitely been on my to-do list. People seem to be enjoying it, so I figured I'd take a chance and share it with you today.  Have some fun spending:

Ted-E-Bear - 6/4/20

Today's puzzle takes us to Pennsylvania.  We live in an area with good-sized yards and a lot of trees, so it's not surprising to see a number of different critters in the neighborhood.  Over the years I've seen tons of squirrels, chipmunks, woodchucks, rabbits, deer, the occasional skunk, opossum, or fox, and once I even saw a coyote.  Yesterday I saw a picture on facebook of a house one street over from us with a bear walking around in front of it. Yikes! While I knew there had been some way on the other side of town, this was a first for us.  I'm not anxious to see one in person, honestly.  Even though it was a little one, it wasn't exactly a:

Early Days - 6/3/20

Thirty Years - 6/2/20

Today's puzzle takes us to Virginia.  Do you know what you were doing 30 years ago today?  I sure do. After about a year's worth of long-distance planning and only three weeks after my college graduation I married the guy who had lived across the hall and worked with me at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as part of the same summer internship program two years before.  We'd never even lived in the same town except for that one summer when we met, but somehow it all worked out and here we are 30 years later.  Where does the time go?? I hope you'll celebrate with me with this:

Today's puzzle has us back in the U.K.  Like a lot of other people, I've been spending too much time on the computer lately.  One of the things I came across was a video like this one which reminded me why I don't enjoy playing:

Cut and Paste - 5/29/20

I forgot about this Ithaca puzzle since it was archived not long after I started caching, and I hadn't been able to make the find.  I came across it in poking around looking at some of the oldest puzzle caches in our area and noticed it was just one day short of the 15th anniversary of its placement, so I figured that was good enough reason to feature it today.  Have fun with a little:

I've gotten in the habit of trying to do the New York Times Crossword every day, and have been enjoying them.  For the last few weeks my son has been joining me in working on them nightly, and a couple of times we've even gotten my husband to help with a clue or two.  Today's puzzle is a brand new one that popped up a little over 50 miles away from me today.  Sharpen your pencil and have some fun with this:

Sword in the Stone - 5/19/20

Today's puzzle takes us to the United Kingdom, and it's the result of my looking for a "Vikings" themed puzzle.  I know I've talked before about following the Vikings football team, but in this case I'm talking about the History Channel TV show, which I've been having fun watching lately.  I find the quasi-history interesting and all of the battles and intrigue probably remind me a little bit of Game of Thrones, which also turns up in this puzzle.  See if you can sort out the:

Today's puzzle takes us to the United Kingdom. I am a great fan of toast, and hardly a day goes by that I don't have it for breakfast.  I like it just slightly toasty, with no dark brown or blackened bits.  So here's a friendly word of advice ... if you ever change the setting higher on the toaster, please put it back where you found it when you're done.  Otherwise you could cause your family members to scorch their breakfast, and then:

Rules should never be broken - 5/16/20

It was nice seeing our area open up to geocaching again, and I had quite a few newly published caches pop up in my inbox, one of which I'm sharing with you today.  I didn't venture out for any caches myself, but when I do I know I'll still be following the social distancing rules because:

The Cribbage Master - 5/3/20

One of the things we've been doing during the last few weeks sitting at home is playing cribbage.  My husband and I dug the board out first, and then our son joined in some games with both of us in turn.  We haven't tried a three-handed game yet, but may do that shortly.  Whenever I play cribbage I think of my Dad, who we lost one year ago today.  Every time I visited him we would play hand after hand, often sitting on the back porch in the shade.  We played so often for so many years that I know exactly what he would say in response to pretty much any turn of events in the game, and as I've been playing recently I've heard his voice in my head many times.  I still have his cribbage board, complete with the scorch marks from when it was in the trunk of his car which caught on fire out in the desert back in the 1950's. I haven't brought myself to use it during these recent games, though.  It still feels too soon.  So today's New York puzzle is shared in honor and memory of my dad, a wonderful father and grandfather, educator, public servant, and:

Funny Farm - 5/1/20

Today's puzzle is a little late in appearing since I was distracted this evening both by water seeping into the basement and appearing on the Caching in the Northwest podcast.  With an airtime of 9:00 p.m. Pacific, I was definitely up past my bedtime.  The CO of today's puzzle which I first shared back in 2014 came up during our discussion and so I thought I'd spotlight one of his puzzles that I first shared back in 2014.  This one is appropriate because lately I've been feeling about ready for the:

P.S. It really made my day to see how many people left friendly notes for the CO of Sunday's featured puzzle.  

P.P.S.  It took me three tries but I finally did get the last step of yesterday's featured puzzle this afternoon ... like I said, it was a doozy!  

Logical - 4/27/20

I think sometimes it can be almost meditative to work on a puzzle where you know exactly what to do, it just takes a little bit of thought and persistence to get it done ... kind of like a really large jigsaw puzzle.  Logic puzzles can feel a bit like that, and so I thought it might be fun to return once again to the French series of "Grilles Logiques" that I've featured here before.  Today's is ranked as an easy (facile) one, but watch out for the last step ... it's a doozy.  I admit that having just seen it I'm going to save it for tomorrow since it's getting late.  Sharpen your pencil and have some fun with:

Puzzle Street East - 4/21/20

I remembered recently that there were a bunch of puzzles in the Nova Scotia "Puzzle Street" series that I still need to solve, and when I went to look for them I discovered that the CO also has a much shorter "Puzzle Street" series all the way over in Ukraine (I started to say "the" Ukraine, but confirmed this is the preferred usage).  So, today I'm serving up one of my favorites from the original series which I featured back in 2012:

Yellow Jack - 4/17/20

Today's brand new puzzle takes us to Texas.  When I saw it I immediately was reminded of the 1938 movie "Jezebel," (for which Bette Davis won a Best Actress Oscar playing opposite a young Henry Fonda), but this puzzle led me to look up a little more information about the phrase:

Beginning Again - 4/16/20

Today I'm passing along a link to information about an online event coming up this Sunday that you might like to share with your geocaching friends, especially any puzzlers (or want-to-be puzzlers) among them.  The host is the author of the much referenced "How to Puzzle Cache" book, and the CO of today's puzzle, which I first featured back in 2013.  It's part of the Central Park "Gates" series, which have a wide variety of themes and difficulties.  This is probably one of the more challenging ones, but I found it very satisfying:

It Begins at the Farmers' Gate

Dodger Blue - 4/15/20

Since there aren't any current games taking place right now, last night on ESPN they aired a rebroadcast of one of the most memorable games in World Series history, when an injured Kirk Gibson scored a pinch-hit walk-off homer to win the game.  It was the fall of 1988 and I was a junior in college, and a die-hard Dodger fan.  I flipped it on last night to catch a couple of innings, and just the sound of Vin Scully's voice was enough to make me a little misty-eyed, thinking back to all those years ago.  The great broadcaster is retired now, but in my google searching I came across a recently recorded message for baseball fans which I enjoyed hearing.  I'm looking forward to the time when I can once again root for the current:

Dodger Blue!

April Showers - 4/14/20

I got rained on today trying to get the dog a little bit of a walk this afternoon.  It got me thinking about that old saying about the "April showers," which got me thinking about resharing this fun but challenging puzzle from back in 2016.  I hope you'll enjoy this:

I was saddened this weekend to hear of the passing of the well-known mathematician John Conway, reportedly due to COVID-19.  I was just discussing him recently with my friend CaptainMath, who had the pleasure of meeting him years ago.  His work inspired one of my own favorite puzzle creations, which I'll share here again with you today in his honor:

Today we travel to New Mexico for a puzzle I first featured way back in 2012:

Hunting for Easter/Eggs

If you're celebrating today I hope you will find ways to enjoy the day, even under these highly unusual circumstances.  Several years ago I wrote this in my Easter post:  "Growing up I always enjoyed getting a new outfit, receiving a solid chocolate rabbit (eaten ears first, naturally), coloring and hunting for eggs (always followed by egg salad sandwiches), boisterous hymn singing, delicious ham, and permission once again break out the white shoes." Well, the candy has been purchased, I have my egg salad made, and the ham is ready to fix, but I'm not sure how much boisterous hymn singing there will be here in my living room while watching a service via youtube.
