Dear Bill,

Without meaning to slight what you wrote as analysis of the four Puzzle Lab puzzles featured here, I personally enjoyed reading the opening words of today's posting even more than the words about specific puzzles. I just felt your explanation of why you were setting out on this retro journey was such an interesting sharing of yourself. I even really resonated with your note about why you were referring to the puzzle lab company as Puzzle Lab. I've run into that sort of situation when I've been writing book reviews and course reviews. I know just what you mean when you say that not using capital letters sometimes gets awkward when writing prose.

Of the four puzzles featured today, I liked Chippy best, both in terms of its appearance and of what you had to say about it. Thanks for the spoiler alert, too, in today's posting.

In summation, today's analysis of puzzles deserves at least its usual A grade. I want to distinguish your opening of the essay, right down to the pictured Pickle Boat, with an A+.
