Ten-nis, anyone?

 It's early July, which means the Tour de France has just begun, and we are into the second week of Wimbledon. I grew up in a tennis family, which means I have played and watched a lot of tennis over the years - this year's Wimbledon has seen a lot of upsets which definitely makes it exciting. The great thing about tennis is it's never too late for a comeback. 


Anyways, I was inspired by the phrase "Tennis, anyone?" to make this puzzle - happy solving - and hope you enjoy some of the amazing tennis or cycling or any other sport that brings you joy this month.

Friends don't let friends...construct puzzles by themselves - please enjoy "I Am Not a Robot"

Solving or constructing crossword puzzles is often considered to be a solo activity, but sometimes the best (or silliest) ideas come out of random group chats. This particular puzzle idea started in a Discord chat with my Lil AVCX crew on the merits of using Microsoft Paint for adding color to puzzles...and then it took off from there. As a group, we decided to try to make this puzzle as silly and weird as possible...so with that being said, please enjoy a trip back to the 80s and 90s with a puzzle courtesy of Shannon Rapp, Sally Hoelscher, Matt Luter, Geoffrey Schorkopf, and me!  Built by Katja, Norah, Sally, Matt, and Geoffrey using PuzzleMe's online cross word maker

Summer vacation!

 We have a big family trip scheduled soon out to the Mendocino Coast...and it feels like summer vacation is finally here. The best part is my 10-year-old niece will be visiting - and while she's here, we're planning to construct a crossword puzzle together! She is already a budding crossword solver, so I'm excited to see if she also gets the constructing bug. Midi-size puzzles are the rage lately, so please enjoy this midi from me - with my niece's name (slightly) hidden in the puzzle...look for our collaboration in a couple weeks!

What's black and white and solved all over?

 As I've been watching the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition the last few weeks (which concluded a couple days ago with the awarding of the gold medal to Aristo Sham of Hong Kong), I once again have been dreaming about one day owning my own grand piano. I probably need a larger living room. But as I've been dreaming of that, I also started thinking about a lot of my favorite things that are black and white - and thus this puzzle was born. A little too late I also just read about Ed the runaway pet zebra who was finally captured in Tennessee. Just imagine what this ride must have been like: So Ed the Zebra did not make the actual puzzle, but I hope he enjoys his brief brush with fame. And I hope you enjoy the puzzle!
