Meghan Morris is an appellate public defender in Denver, where she lives with her partner and twin kindergarteners. She got into crosswords at the University of North Carolina, where she did them in The Daily Tar Heel.
"I can't promise that I never worked on a crossword in class." She adds, "My college roommate recently reminded me that she and I would bemoan when the crossword was on the fold, because then it was hard to do discreetly."
