Here is a link to my answers to today's SYNDICATED New York Times crossword.

The name's William Ernest Butler, but please call me Bill. I grew up in Ireland, but now live out here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am retired, from technology businesses that took our family all over the world.
I answer all emails, so please feel free to email me at bill@paxient.com, contact me on Google+ or leave a comment below.
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.

Elizabeth Gorski is my favorite puzzle designer! Loved this one. She always has good connecting answers and usually a drawing.
Do you know much about her?
Hi there.
I agree with you, that Liz Gorski's puzzles are incredibly inventive and unique. I don't know an awful lot about her, but as i recall she does get a mention in the "NYTimes crossword movie" Wordplay. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.
There's a great interview with Ms. Gorski available online. You can also read about each of her NYTimes puzzles on the NYTimes Blog.
I hope that helps!
