Cats


Hi Puzzlers

Like many of you we love cats. Today we would like to pay tribute to the cat. We recently found a new study which suggests that "Yes, your cat really is the boss. Household cats exercise control of their humans with a particular high-pitched, hard-to-ignore meow."

Our office cat, Kramer or Boo-Boo kitty as we like to call him, must have read this study. He has mastered every technique discussed and has put it into practice here at the office. Check out Kramer at our Flickr photo stream.

Picture our big brute of a kitty carrying on like a Vaudeville star until he gets his way. Hiking up the intensity of his cries, while clawing at the office doors to get in, demanding you to lavish him with attention, attention he wants only when he wants it. Which is usually while we are on the phone with one of our puzzlers. So next time you hear him cry remember this is all about him trying to control us.

So cheers to all of our lovable kitties that have mastered the art of control..........ing us!

Meet Abe


Hi Puzzlers

We would like you to meet Abe. Abe is our VP of Sales and has been with us for over 20 years! He travels to and stays in all the Resorts and Island areas we make puzzles of. He selects the best of the best in the areas and highlights them on our puzzles. He works with the sponsors and artist to make sure the art renderings are accurate. We have heard stories from some of our puzzlers on how they have made the puzzle before they went on vacation and then used the finished puzzle as a guide to the area... "To make sure we didn't miss anything."

Once you meet Abe he is hard to forget with his outgoing, gregarious and energetic personality. He always has a great smile and joke to tell. The ladies at the office call him the "Cookie Monster" as he likes to bring them cookies from the local bakery.

So, puzzlers, if you see this guy prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience!
