THEMELESS MONDAY: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Good Lord, is it the week of the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament already? Looks like it is. I’d say that that last year disappeared quickly, but then again, I barely remember Wednesday from last week, so it’s entirely possible. But yeah, this is the big one. A handful of souls have a chance at the big bucks up for grabs, and the rest of us are there for the mingling and booze swigging. It’s like my family reunion, only none of us have to ever have Thanksgiving dinner together, ever. Unless you invite me and my girls, then I’ll think about going. But only if you ask nice. But I digress, it’s the only crossword event of the year that goes by its initials. So if that’s your cuppa, then get yo’self on down to Stamford and join the 48 hour party. And if you see me there, be sure to say “hey,” it’s always great to meet the solvers.
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
Nice puzzle. Took me most of the morning. Thanks!
1D made me LOL. The whole thing was great, too.
Enjoyed this, but tough.
Seven of? Seven of?
Not going to Stamford, CN this time but may vvant to order the set of the 8 puzzles soon after the tournament is histoire and be videotaped solving this all in one setting. As in vvhen puzzle #I is complete, i move onto puzzle #II immediately and so on. i Actually vvould prefer MARATHONing thru crossvvords then have to vvait and vvait a half hour or so for vvhat’s next. So a modest proposal there.
…..diamonds, maybe. Or Spades. Or Clubs. And so on.
Enjoyed the challenge.Toiled through, w/o hitting “check”, up to the last 2 letters. Thanks.
Seven of, e.g. seven minutes until two o’clock.
Entertaining and surprising as usual!
Yes, Christian, I got that. Just busting BEQ about the clue.
… the hour.
Oops! A big boo-boo! Re: 34 Across … the Christine on The Good Wife/Fight is Baranski, not Lahti … I may not know my coaches and bands, but I do know my actresses!
I think it’s an East Coast thing because, since I moved to the West Coast, my step-kids are relentless when I say “quarter of…” Huh???? but makes total sense to me … 🙂
Apparently Lahti did appear on two episodes of The Good Wife — but never yet on the spinoff.
