Puzzle Notes

Dear subscribers: 

Another one on the easyish side this week, Tyler Hinman's "It Beats Waiting Tables" is 2.5/5 in difficulty.

Speaking of Tyler, the NPR Weekend Edition piece that mentions him, and for which I was interviewed, aired this past Sunday. The subject was the current wave of independent crosswords. If you missed it live, you can still find it archived here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=242736482
