I've had a note in my journal for a while now to reply to a new listener who heard me mention a sample issue of "Puzzle Blast." It was forever ago - and by "forever" I mean 2006... a reality that surprised even me when I finally tracked down the files. Those of you who've been here all that time know that Puzzle Blast and the CMP came into being right around the same time. Only the CMP remains, by a string.
But when I look back and see the issues of Puzzle Blast that I did -- hopeful issues... something so tied into my parenting and my oldest child at that time -- there is a sense of wistfulness. These are pieces I'm proud of. It was a venture I really was excited about.
At any rate, there really are 3 full issues and 1 sample issue... and in the way that data collects and gets moved around and misplaced and shoved onto one drive or lost on a defunct computer or falls prey to some other virtual misplacement, it took me a while to locate copies. Here's the link to the sample one. It's a PDF. Print it out and take it with you for your next meal out or road trip. Just ignore any subscription info. It's invalid.
Anyone interested in the other three issues (longer than the sample)? I'm happy to post them.
oh, A! so glad you found these! what a treasure. and i love how your good work can bring to mind such feelings...we'd love to see the other issues if you are willing.
peace keep you.
