It's not ruined..sorry, though...the normal Sunday puzzle, which is very challenging, as you know, is easily 20x harder that this..I was bummed..
We do not have a "local" Sunday paper here, so 2 of the 3 papers we pick up on Sunday are chosen for 2 reasons - They carry the NYT crossword and have coupons!! We get the Washington Times for News and Commentary, not the fluff.
