I have already mentioned that we saw Jay LENO's mansion in Rhode Island during the trip to visit my friend who lives in Connecticut. I and all the teachers here can take a CSO at TEACH. I went once, many years ago when a cousin who played in a band was in it. This past week the Fiesta Bowl PARADE took place in downtown Phoenix. It has been years, no decades, since I read and thought of PENROD, but it came slinging back to me out of who know what recesses.
Prayers for him when I go to church today. and I am sorry to hear that Boomer is in pain. for your thoughtful insight and educating me along the way! My regards to Boomer, hope the tests go well and he can at least be rid of the pain. Thank you Jeff and Rich for the early morning mental exercise, and thanks C.C. Take today’s clue of “Spectrum”, it had me thinking car model and not of colors. And being that the first letter of a crossword clue is always capitalized (unless by design), one word clues can be bamboozling as to whether it is a proper or common noun. Also never heard of the PBS news person, but would have known ”MATA _”.
Had a few DNK’s in GAEA, PEGG, PENROD, DAL, and as clued, THAMES. After filling about 4 themers I noticed the subtraction of the “GH”, but didn’t understand the correlation to the title, my aha moment coming with C.C.’s expo of changing the long vowel sound to the short title would have been “GHONE WITH THE WIND” 😂 Managed a FIR in a little over 38 minutes, which for me on a Sunday is a respectable time. He just has a unique style, from the construction to the clueing which I assume most dedicated solvers really enjoy. Always a delight to see a JW byline, especially on a Sunday themed, cuz I know it will be a fun challenge, and today’s offering provided just that.
