Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Perspiring Pencils

I like to do a killer Sudoku, with no starting numbers but subtotals of random shapes, it seems a purer puzzle than its more straightforward cousin, and my current booklet helpfully indicates the degree of difficulty of each puzzle with a sweating pencil point, ranging from mild (no sweat) through medium (one bead of sweat), tricky, and extreme to deadly (four beads); as I’ve had this booklet for several months all I have left are four-beaders and today I had the rare satisfaction of completing one (that I started and gave up on last Sunday), but despite this encouragement I shall still be buying a new edition asap to access fresh puzzles with less perspiring pencils.
