039 - Finish a New York Times crossword by myself

I will consider this goal complete when/if: I begin a blank New York Times crossword puzzle and complete it entirely without any outside help from friends, family, or other references.

This goal is on my list because: I love crossword puzzles. Growing up, I always helped my grandmother work on the crossword in the local newspaper and now I can sometimes complete those ones by myself. The New York Times crossword is a whole other beast. I've never finished one by myself. It requires a lot of random knowledge and references to things that happened far before I was born.

Notes: I can practice online, but I'd like the official NYT puzzle I complete to be the one my local paper prints in conjunction with their own on Sundays.

GOAL STATUS: TO DO
