Crosswords and My Dad
I worked on my first crossword puzzle when I was about 6-years-old, sitting on my Dad's knee. He let me "help" him with his puzzle almost everyday as I was growing up. Over the years, Dad passed on to me his addiction to crosswords. Now in my early 50s, I work on my Irish Times and New York Times puzzles every day. I'm no longer sitting on my Dad's knee, but I feel that he is there with me, looking over my shoulder.
This blog is dedicated to my Dad, who passed away at the beginning of this month.

I don't get how Irish goes to dander.
Hello there, my anonymous friend,
Both phrases:
"To get one's Irish up" and
"To get one's dander up"
mean to get riled up, to get angry.
I guess we are always picking on the poor Irish!
I hope that helps!
Now I get it. Thanks.
