  1. @r.alph, M&A left on a major road trip in late May. He must be having a fun time, and not bored enough to build any runt puzzles. Time will tell if picks up his runt construction habit again when he returns. It is awfully quiet here without his creative input.

  2. Just arrived back from our looooong road trip. Didn't have my runt-makin/publishin computer in tow, but did write about 30-40 of them on paper with pencil.
    Will be back in (monkey) business soon.

    Mighty sorry about the huge hiatus.
    Yer friend in puzzleness,

  3. So glad to see your post @M&A, welcome back! I was worried that you found some new hobbies while you were away from the runt publishing routine.

    Hope you had an enjoyable road trip!!
