I'm all about the crossword puzzle. I still haven't bought into the whole Sudoku thing.
I'm old school like that.
So this caught my eye: The Maryland Science Center is hosting a crossword puzzle contest at 1 p.m. today. Anybody can walk in and sign up for it. It costs $24.
None of the puzzles have been published anywhere yet, and they're all from Will Shortz of the New York Times. Which means they're probably hard.
Here's the website where you register.
Erik Maza is a features reporter at the Baltimore Sun. He writes for several sections of the Sun paper and contributes weekly columns on music and nightlife. He also writes and edits the Midnight Sun blog. He often covers entertainment, business, and the business of entertainment. Occasionally, he writes about Four Loko, The Block, the liquor board, and those who practice "simulated sex with a potted palm tree." Before The Sun, he was a reporter at the Miami New Times. He's also written for Miami magazine, the Orlando Sentinel, the Sarasota Herald Tribune and the Gainesville Sun. Got tips? Gripes? Pitches? He's reachable at erik.maza@baltsun.com. Click here to keep up with the dumb music he's listening to.

If you dig crosswords, you should pick up a Harpers Magazine. In the back there is a crossword puzzle. It is the Kung Fu master of crosswords. It will proceed to whip you like a small and feeble child. If someone got 20% of the clues, I would be super impressed.
