Impressive volume of theme material which led to a "release the '-ese' feel to some of the puzzle. However, as we all know, crosswordese can't be avoided, especially with so much theme material, so not a problem here.<br /><br />I must finish up just before Jeff Sessions begins to dodge and weave during his hearing with the Senate. Thus, I liked the puzzle, especially the long downs. AERO bars are common here in Canada, and they are pretty good, like today's puzzle.rain forestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-56993804241623288342017-06-13T13:24:52.550-04:002017-06-13T13:24:52.550-04:00Mild Tuesday fare spiced up by the OGLEs and LEERs...Mild Tuesday fare spiced up by the OGLEs and LEERs in the BORDELLOS.<br /><br />Never heard of Nestlé's AEROS.leftcoastTAMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-35039796302825874282017-06-13T12:53:30.922-04:002017-06-13T12:53:30.922-04:00Did I mention that one day at the gym someone had ...Did I mention that one day at the gym someone had "The Doctors" on TV, and they were explaining how to pop a zit?

A certain amount of anticipation was built up with SNEAKAPEEK, LEERAT, OGLE and BORDELLO...but then all we get is a CHEAPDATE with ADELE, or KERR, or KEATON. Oh, OK, Diane is kinda cute--and funny. Give her the DOD.<br /><br />I like the seamless insertion of the X and Z, proving that it's possible to Scrabble-**** without ruining your grid. TRAVOLOTA is a welcome visitor--one of the few in this puzzle that seem fresh.<br /><br />Fill problems detract: the RIHL and the RIS (random institute of higher learning and random initialized star) included. And then there's the National Honor Society, which I have NEVER seen acronymized.
