Default Kelso makes the NY Times X-Word

A sudden attach of masochism led me to tackle today'sl NY Times X-Word, confirming that the Friday puzzle is way beyond me. BUT, I did get some pleasure from filling in 13-down: "Five-time Horse of the Year, 1960-64". Yeah, like I needed the dates.

You are braver than me. Only time I attempt the NY Times puzzle is when I need a HUGE dose of humility.

Fridays are tough. But if you can complete Saturdays, you're damn good.

I hear that. I'm pretty good at them, but haven't finished one of those in ages.
