Word Play

Mom and Bill are here visiting for a couple of days, so what better thing to do than see Word Play, the fantastic new documentary about crossword puzzlers. Its like Spellbound with grownups and has great cameos from people like Bill Clinton, Jon Stewart, and the Indigo Girls -- all doing the NY Times Crossword. The sound track is great too (especially the song about "If You Don't Come Across, I'll Be Down")

And, one of the coolest things was that the Indigo Girls are sitting at the Montalvo concert venue where we saw them last July! Other sites also noted that it was in fact their July concert there in Saratoga. Super cool!

Great movie -- especially if you're a crossword fan. I'm a crossword wannabe... I can only get through Monday and occasionally Tuesdays, but I appreciate a good puzzler when I see one.
