Well, I have appeared as the Frankie Avalon character (twice!) singing Beauty School Dropout in Grease, and once as King Herod singing King of the Jews in Jesus Christ Superstar, while a school administrator. Let's just say that reviews were mixed.<br /><br />Puzzle was easy, yes, but still had areas that gave pause. Evidence of competence and care in construction. Also, Ms. Lempel does RULE, @rondo, and she demonstrated how to LURE us to the corner squares.rainforestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-47677492501811426412020-05-25T12:15:24.322-04:002020-05-25T12:15:24.322-04:00Lynn apparently doesn't have any trouble findi...Lynn apparently doesn't have any trouble finding BOYs.

A beautiful time and an ugly time.<br /><br />And "time" was my first thought for the theme: game time, high time, office time--but ball time would be a pretty thin stretch. This puzzle was so well done that I didn't even notice that the central sevens were part of the theme! I picked up the "time" thing again with PLAY...and then hit the revealer.
