I recently went on a trip to Vegas with my girlfriend.

She is always nervous when flying and so sitting next to her is not always pleasant. For this trip I bought her a crossword puzzle book to keep her mind off of flying. I did not realize that this crossword puzzle book was going to start a new pass time for her.

I gave her the crossword puzzle book as we were sitting in the plane waiting on the tarmac to take off. She said that she had not done a crossword puzzle since she was in college and she had always enjoyed doing them.

She was so absorbed by her puzzle that she did not take the time to be nervous about the flight.

In fact she was shocked when the captain announced that we would be arriving in Las Vegas in 20 minutes. She proclaimed that this was the fastest flight that she had ever been on. After landing we picked up our luggage and caught a cab to our hotel. I was excited about being in Las Vegas and was visiting with the cab driver about what was new since the last time I had been there. I looked at my girlfriend because she was unusually quiet. She had the crossword puzzle book opened and was working on a puzzle in the cab. I could not believe it, we were in the most exciting city in the world and she was working a puzzle. She put the book away when we arrived at the hotel.

We had a wonderful time in Las Vegas. My friend did take every spare opportunity she had to work on a crossword puzzle when we were relaxing by the pool or in the hotel room. I was starting to think that she was obsessed with the puzzle book.

My friend and I work for the same company. After our trip to Las Vegas she began bringing a crossword puzzle to work each day to work on during breaks and lunch. She and another co-worker began doing the crossword puzzle in the metro newspaper everyday. At first they would work on the puzzle together, but then they began to each do their own. Soon it became a competition to see who could complete the crossword puzzle in the shortest time. Now they are getting to the point where they have rules and guidelines to follow to make sure no one is using a dictionary, the internet or getting the paper early to get a head start.

Some of the other workers in our company are getting annoyed by the competition. Little did I know that I would create this competition by giving that initial crossword puzzle book to my friend.

We hope this helpsYou!
