NEXT LEVEL SHIT: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
We made it. 1000. Huzzah. No time to celebrate though, 1001 is coming soon enough. Besides, drop the balloons on some real achievements like, uh, … hmm. Let me think about that. Uh, … No. How about …? (pause). Uh, … How about retirement? Yeah. That seems worthwhile. So please, hold your applause for another 22 years, at least. Thank you.
Besides, this isn’t a race. It’s a marathon. Gotta pace myself.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Congratulations on 1000! No letting up now … at least until you’ve paid for Tabitha’s college & wedding…
Congratulations! Beyond enjoying solving your puzzles, I’ve learned a lot from your disquisitions on puzzle-making. Keep up the great work–what’s the next milestone? 10,000?

I get it: you are modest and don’t want to jinx your march towards your millionth puzzle. But how about a teeny celebration for your fans that have actually done a thousand of your puzzles and lived to tell about it? And a moment of silence in honor of those who are now drooling in padded rooms. Seriously, you have given us hours of fun and even the occasional bit of education. Many thanks, on behalf of your fellow crazy people. We love you. Rock on!
Still the Gold Standard in my book. Thanks for all the cool puzzles.
I 2nd that emotion
Congrats! And yet another fun puzzle. Great aha moment at 58A!
Congrats!
Whew! Can’t say it better than that. Thank you a thousand times.
You knocked this one into the upper deck.
By the way, thanks for the celebration, Louise.
Nice work, Brendan! Your productivity and creativity never cease to amaze me.
ALMOST better than a stuffed turkey at TG. … Nah … but … all the congrats in the world! Great job … Cheers, Diane
