New Word Sudoku (Swifty Sudoku!) Puzzles for Saturday, 9/11/2010

Let’s go for another gallop," Tom recanted.
A Tom Swifty is an adverbial pun that simultaneously describes a speaker and refers to the speaker's statement. The name comes from the Tom Swift book series for young readers first published in 1910. The authors were roundly criticized at the time for overusing adverbs and descriptive phrases, so that Tom hardly ever said anything without a qualifying adverb. A Tom Swifty pun is a parody of this style that could make you groan out loud!

New Word Sudoku Puzzles for Sunday, 9/5/2010

America celebrates National Piano Month in September—a special time to focus on an instrument that’s kept me sane all my life. America is home to some 10 million pianos. So at least 10 million people know exactly what I mean!

When I play piano, I spill my emotions, my fears, my worries. And I find that place inside me where everything’s cool. My personal Zen.

The National Piano Foundation used to lead this celebration, but I cannot find any information on its website (www.pianonet.com) about the designation or any plans the foundation may have for 2010. But in previous years, the NPF talked about the piano’s versatility and magic. Absolutely right!
