twice, actually! 😜Ģ7d is a mini-CSO to yours truly. As HG suggested, most amateur golfers "sliced" these. Then, it was filling in the other blanks.Īs a golfer, BALATA was a gimme, but it's been decades since these have been used. Saw the BLANK/BLANK crossing and 38a became an easy fill. Interesting that I actually "got" the theme after filling in 11d and 26d. INCUS tripped me, though I knew the word had to begin with an I. I hope the rain brings on plenty of May flowers.įirst off, kudos to HG for his scintillating synopsis! Second, without the clever conundrum from Bill Z, HG's comments would've been mootĪs much as I wanted to utter some (_fill in the blank), I actually finished it, but not without a few write overs and googles. I just heard that we have had only the normal amount of rain for April, even it has been gloomy and rainy more days than not. It must be frustrating not to know the cause of DIL's symptoms. PK, I am glad your daughter came through the operation successfully. Having been a teacher, I remember some things from elementary school, such as INCUS, than some other adults may not.īillo, I, also, wondered about the all caps, in 9A. I think that last sense is old fashioned, but the shin in the puzzle and pet seem common, enough. She used shin in the sense of moving quickly by foot, too. I have often heard and read, "She is in a pet." "Don't get in a pet." Also I knew shin in the sense of climbing. When I sussed the gimmick I moved along quite well. HG, great visual aid and explanation of the theme, which was unusual, but clever.
