this is getting framed

I finished my first crossword puzzle all by myself and I'm happy. It's one of the items on my list of things to do before I die along with learning to play bridge, writing a poem that rhymes in both French and English when directly translated and other stuff I can't remember right now. No other people, no books, nothing but the paper the pencil and my brainium. I can't believe it. It wasn't Toronto Star or like, real-people quality crosswording but I'm satisfied for now. I'll work my way up.
