As the title suggests, today’s grid offers my heartfelt New Year’s wishes to those of you who take the time to solve my puzzles. I really appreciate it, and I look forward to tossing another 100 or so puzzles your way in 2024. Please feel free to comment or email me (jeffspuzzles@gmail.com) if you ever have a question, suggestion, reaction, correction, whatever.
If you’re thinking of traveling in the new year, check out my travel blog, PuffinlessTravel.com. In 2023, I added several posts about France and Spain (visiting caves with paleolithic art), Luxembourg, Andorra, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Hungary. Next week I’ll be traveling to Australia and New Zealand and will be adding lots of posts and pix from that experience.
