      Will and Charlie concurred that solving crosswords is a good way to keep one's mind active. Once I visited a Barnes and Noble bookstore and found the crossword book display next to that for "Psychotherapy." How fitting a juxtaposition. My day is incomplete if I have not done even one crossword puzzle, and often if I can't sleep I'll tackle a few puzzles to calm me down. Really good interview!
