Wednesday NYTX took 6:30. I had some trouble on the eastern section, but Google research has proved my guesses correct, although I'm still not quite sure I understand 31A. LATX lasted 7:30. It's odd for the LA Times to take longer than the NY Times, but I had to spend some time researching a cross of two proper nouns (26/29).

For those wondering why I continue posting my solve times, I suppose it partly vanity. I've gotten very good at doing crosswords, and although I don't really solve for times (like these people), I do like to keep track of how long I take. And the computer program with which I do my daily solving keeps track of time elapsed, with the nifty feature of pausing the clock whenever I minimize the puzzle to do real work. But mostly it's to annoy [livejournal.com profile] tamaraland and force her to do more crossword puzzles. And possibly [livejournal.com profile] davidglasser too, although I haven't heard from him again.
