And don’t be concerned about your time. Judging from the posts, some folks look things up ONTHESLY, but for most of us it constitutes a DNF (did not finish). But do the puz as you see fit. As yesterday’s puz reminds us, it’s ALLINFN.<br /><br />I had a good day, solving in a MERE 18 minutes, writing over only at ATTENDANCEcHarT. Hand up FOR also noticing both ETAS and ETDS in the puz; not clued in the same context though.<br /><br />As @Dolgo mentioned, John Updike wrote a great short story AANDP (A & P). You can find it online. Worth the short time it takes to read, for sure. Now that’s writing.<br /><br />Anyone remember C.

Some day someone is going to construct a puzzle with ACTUAL ampersands, in which A&P, A&E, etc. get the three squares they're entitled to. On that day I shall be filled with JOY, and award an automatic eagle!<br /><br />This one played pretty tough, thanks to some brutal cluing. No better example of this can be found than 5-across. Okay, a "flight" of stairs. Legit enough, but definitely ONTHESLY.<br /><br />Plenty of WOEs. I'm not up on my biblical genealogy, so LABAN came via crosses. Don't think I've ever heard that one. BASESALARY is another one: not in the language. It's "Base pay." Sequel = PARTII, oh, all right. Ugly, but all right. I agree it's STRANGE to have four gridspanners that have nothing to do with the theme--which turns out to be pretty thin. JS had to give up left-right symmetry--and a bunch of SILLY fill--to achieve it. The four long downs were far more restrictive than the theme, I suspect. An ambitious effort, not quite carried off. Not even a DOD today...JOY who? Behar? uh, no. OPRAH? Not my type. It's...whoever belongs to those TATAS. No I didn't! Slap me. Hard. I deserve it.

My mom, sister and I were fairly new arrivals in California having trekked from Cuba, Miami and Sarasota Fla. My grandparents lived in Malibu and my uncle lived somewhere in Westwood. We were told The Palisades was the place for the best schools and hot dogs (kidding). I went to Brentwood Jr High for a while and then on to Pali High for a year and a half. I learned how to skate board, skip school, bleach my hair, hate the Beach Boys and steal my mom's mustang. Our hang out was a place called "The Hot Dog Shack." I was miserable.....but the hot dogs and a blonde surfer dude I met were pretty good.<br />I remember Hamburger Hamlet because it was my first American hamburger. I could have sworn it was in Westwood but I guess it was in Sherman Oaks.<br />My mom was offered a teaching position at The American School of Madrid in 1965. She came home from work one day and said "pack your bags." It was the best decision of our lives. Weren't you in Madrid in the late 60's early 70's?<br />Yes, the Oyster Bar at Grand Central was a place I would meet my friends who would come in to NYC from Connecticut or Maryland. I lived at 98th and Broadway and in those days no one would come to visit!!!!!<br />And San Francisco...!!!!<br />Good memories.<br /> GILL I.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05605766053820226324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-23528761594923172112017-03-17T22:08:06.841-04:002017-03-17T22:08:06.841-04:00Um, hell-O-o...Um, hell-O-o...Chim chamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14072888196146711139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-34128548696828406072017-03-17T21:36:57.489-04:002017-03-17T21:36:57.489-04:00I'm way behind and have just finished reading ...I'm way behind and have just finished reading yesterday's blog but have to express my love of that puzzle and the last post by @Nancy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17522538761432642632noreply@blogger.com
