		<description>&lt;a href="http://www.crosswordtournament.com/"&gt;The 2003 American Crossword Puzzle Tournament&lt;/a&gt; is coming March 14-16.  You can either &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.crosswordtournament.com/info/onlinereg.htm&quot;&gt;participate in person&lt;/a&gt; by going to Stamford, Connecticut for the weekend, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.crosswordtournament.com/info/offer.htm&quot;&gt;play at home&lt;/a&gt; on your own time.  If you&apos;re a confirmed or aspiring &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.quinion.com/words/weirdwords/ww-cru1.htm&quot;&gt;cruciverbalist&lt;/a&gt;, you should check this out -- the puzzles are great and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://homepage.mac.com/thecru/acpt2002.htm&quot;&gt;competition&lt;/a&gt; is light-hearted.  (&lt;a href=&quot;http://homepage.mac.com/thecru/pages/91KroftShortz.htm&quot;&gt;Will Shortz&lt;/a&gt; (right), director of the tournament and editor of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/pages/crosswords/index.html&quot;&gt;New York Times crossword puzzle&lt;/a&gt;, was recently &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/01/03/60minutes/main535239.shtml&quot;&gt;interviewed on &lt;i&gt;60 Minutes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.)</description>

		<description>We do a lot of crosswords in our house, but they only get done a few minutes at a time in a &lt;i&gt;special room&lt;/i&gt; in the house, if you know what I mean.. I wonder how many other families do this *g*</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;wackybrit&lt;/b&gt;, you&apos;re definitely not alone. However, for us it&apos;s not the &lt;i&gt;only&lt;/i&gt; room in the house where we work problems out with a pencil and paper.</description>
