Really enjoyed this one. And happy to be back so I can start on 500+ days in a row again (got really, really sick, but now I'm feeling better and the puzzles will help rehab my brain!)

This one was a little tough for me. Usually, I breeze through Monday puzzles. Maybe it's because I am so bummed out about the Lions losing -- I was so hoping they would be in the Super Bowl. I'm not a football fan -- last time I watched the Lions I wound up with pneumonia (in the early 70s, sitting in freezing rain with nothing but a ripped leaf bag to stay dry ... ). But everyone else in my family are faithful Lions fans (yep, I'm from Detroit) and I wanted them to be happy. Maybe next year.

Loved this one. Solved it pretty quickly, though didn't set a PB. "My eye" is what my mom always said when she didn't believe us, so cool!

Didn't even notice the circles ... but the crosses didn't rely on the trick, so I don't see the point -- I just thought the answers were clever. I did solve it a lot faster than I usually do on the Sunday puzzle, though.
