News broke last week that Manny Nosowsky died on Wednesday. A lovely little obit is here. When I started out making crosswords back in the ’90s, Manny’s stood out as really special stuff. I mean, take a look at his puzzles that ran in the Times. A lot of these grids could run today and nobody would think otherwise. You can’t say this about a lot of puzzles that ran 30 years ago, but you can say that about the majority of Manny’s crosswords from back then. A true pioneer, he will be missed.

For those that were curious, the ole’ Biz Quig did the marathon yesterday. I was doing all right until about mile 19 when it all started falling apart. I got especially dark in the 21st mile, but Liz talked me out of quitting. And so, I hobbled across the finish line (eventually). And while I don’t feel like bragging about the time (it was atrocious), I will take a moment to say that I am glad that it’s over. Thanks again to everyone who was able to chip in. It’s sort of a cliche to say that raising money for cancer research is the real winning maneuver, but it’s true. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to continue to feel sorry for myself because every part of my legs hurts. Big time.
