I know you all think I am the epitome of cool. The general consensus is that I am as trendy as they come, as hip as hip can be, as cool as the inside of Prince Pucklers in August. But, really, I am not.
Case in point: I love doing crossword puzzles. Honestly, give me a whole day with nothing to do and a stack o' crosswords and I am a happy man. I will ignore food, sleep, and bodily functions if I get into the right crossword mind frame. Nothing makes me happier than ripping through an NYT Friday puzzle. I don't always succeed, but I enjoy the challenge. (And, I can finish more than half of them.) Clearly, I am no championship caliber crossworder, but I am pretty good at filling them in.
Lately, however, I may have taken it to another level. Not only am I filling in at least one crossword a day (sometimes more, if I can find the time), but I have taken to reading Rex Parker's Crossword Blog (after I finish a puzzle).
So, as you can see, I am the opposite of cool. I am a total nerd. But, maybe you already knew that?
It doesn't matter. I'm cool with it.

Wait: Nerdiness is the opposite of cool? Since when?
Though there was a ripple in the love I was sending your way when you mentioned bodily functions. Uncool, Reda, uncool.
Next, please remind us about how you favor wool cardigans. That's a good one too!
