Base desires.

I've written a bunch of puzzles for The Enigma this month. I'd been in a bit of a slump, and then suddenly, there was a muse. A quick count of my in-box lists nine flats, one anaquotes, one vertical anaquote, and one form. I expect some will get the axe, but it's been fun writing them.

I've also been solving well. I believe I've got a complete set of solutions for the September issue, and I'm pretty close for October. October holes: 3, 49, 62, F2, C5, C7.

And, in only vaguely puzzle-related news. I like life right about now. It's so much nicer without fleas.

SatNYTX: 17:57. Some entries I didn't know kept things difficult, but it was a good puzzle. SatLATX: 15:51. I got snowed by some tricky clues for a while, but once I got some good breaks, things fell quickly.

Hmmm...the only overlap in holes is C-7...maybe we should team up? (My holes are 6, 22, 37, KU-2, C-6 and C-7)

I'd like to option the right to swap hints, but there's still a lot of solving time to go, so I'll probably keep throwing myself at them for a while. I'm perfectly willing to offer hints sooner, in order to maintain the option.

As for teaming up, I've always been hesitant because, well, I really don't understand how team-solving the Enigma is supposed to work.

Oh, I guess I should also add that I don't have KU-2. But they don't count to completes, and I don't spend much time working on them unless they interest me, so I didn't mention it.
