I owe penance

Scenes in an imaginary confessional:

Me: Bless me, Mr. Shortz, for I have sinned.

Me: Even for me, what I did today in a doctor’s office was unpardonable. Yessiree Bob, I’m downright ashamed of myself.

Shortz: Goodness, man, what did you do?

crossword

Me: I worked on a crossword puzzle at the back of a The Week magazine and then left it incomplete on the magazine table when my name was called by the nurse.

Me: Should I go back tomorrow to complete the puzzle?

Shortz: No, but you must complete ten games of Sudoku and five Daily Jumbles. Now go and sin no more.
