Paging Esther Lindstrom

I had to watch Merv Griffin's Crosswords today because my e-mail in-box received an unusual text message from someone named Matt. "Are you Esther on crosswords? You're hot!"

Esther, if you're out there and you'd like Matt's phone number, drop me a line. (And sorry you lost the Podium of Money when there was no time to regain it!)

Is it customary to get hit on after appearing on Merv Griffin's Crosswords? Perhaps I'll find out next Wednesday.
