My invalid aunt still retained a sharp mind and every day I’d phone so we could do the NYT puzzle together. I’m completing this one alone wiping the happy tears from my glasses as I think of her. Thank you for this gift.
@Beth in Greenbelt Mine gets done when I run out of underwear.
I just want to hear Deb’s pirate accent.
@George Thought this Sat. Puzzle was just right.
Just call me Smarty Pants! Did a Wednesday puzzle sans hints. Makes up for my struggles last Sunday.
Even when I got the clue I still have no clue.
Roger Maris was very kind to me when at age 12 I rushed across the street for an autograph. He ruffled my hair and it stayed unwashed for two weeks. My parents had to drag me to the sink. He did a tour at the Big Bear Grocery store. One of best days of my life.
I so enjoy your comments, Deb,that even when I do not need clues I read I them after I’ve completed the puzzle. Thank you.
My favorite puzzle ever! I want to erase the answers from my memory so I can solve this puzzle again.Like a delicious meal with friends.
At first glance,I realized this puzzle must wait until I’m sober.
Stanlaurel might be my favorite clue answer ever.
Thank you to NYT puzzle makers. The more frustrating and taxing the better to keep my sanity from the insanity of reality right now.
Loved this puzzle! Conjunction Junction what’s your function? Schoolhouse Rock.
On vacation here in Indio CA and an earthquake hit as I was trying to solve the puzzle.That’s my excuse for having a tough time finishing. I’m all shook up.
@Steven M. Easy for you maybe. I had to look up a few.
Enjoyed the puzzle tonight. Thought it was perfect for a Wednesday.
As a kid,on April 1st I’d put paper in toe of my dad’s shoes. He always acted surprised. He was a great dad.
Happy Pitchers and Catchers report to spring training day!
Congratulations! Your voice is the reason I so enjoy the puzzle. You make me smile at 2am and forget my woes. Glad to know you will keep on writing though but at your own pace. Thank you and may your next chapter bring you joy.
Never heard of the word Fleek.
Yet, another Oreo clue.
My fav puzzle so far this year. What a treat!
This puzzle was smart, witty and so much fun. More from these puzzle makers please!
Sometimes I am in tune with the puzzle maker and the answers flow. Not so today. I’m clueless….
So needed this fun puzzle and your witty remarks.
Sam, your dream of constructing a puzzle will come true but until the, I read your notes, hints after solving the puzzle because I so enjoy them.
After thinking I was so smart all week… with this one I needed the clues.
Hand up here. I tried King for Kong…..
No words can express how much your words have brightened my life during these tough times. Looking forward to finding out your next chapter. Congratulations and much thanks.
I agree with 55D Ice Out!
My first job was carrying typeface down to the basement where the pieces were laud and headlines made
Kelvin and I are so not on same wave length. But enjoyable puzzle.
Enjoyable.Did not need clues but did have to use my brain. Sorely needed as an escape from reality. Thank you.
Could simply not complete today’s puzzle without enjoying a bowl off cereal. That is how I used to watch morning cartoons.
Perfect puzzle for a warm but rainy Monday.
I still use a Rolodex. Maybe for sentimental reasons.
Most vegetables are pacifist? Should I be wary of the celery?
@Francis. It’s too late. Cracking clues is our crack.
This puzzle gave me PTSD. The time the airport bathroom was out of order 5min before flight was boarding. When my term paper looked like my dog chewed it after it got stuck in the printer.
My brain is hurting. So tempted to look at answer key but will heat up my tea and keep on. Germs made me laugh and remember.
Loved solving this hued puzzle. More please
Could not get into this puzzle.Had to look up too many of the trivia questions.
Fun to see my town as a Crossword answer. Home of the Rainiers! Grit City.
@G I had sweet corn and copper river salmon while doing the puzzle as my underwear washed.
I got Gabor and now the Green Acres song is stuck in my head, though it was the other sister. Stream of consciousness happens doing the crossword.
And here I was hoping that working the puzzle would help me forget the pain of watching the Mariners lose out on the going to World Series.
@Marty. We are opposites. This is my new fav of the year. I so enjoyed working out the clues while going down memory lane. I so miss witty critics like Ebert and Shalit.
