OT at Duke starting 6 months of weekly injections and pills treatment for multiple myeloma. Hoping no side effects that would break my steak! Will try to check in now and again. Play nice!
@Mean Old Lady chemo has been laying me low, getting used to the weekly wednesday treatments. today has been a good recovery day combined with a theme I could comment on...thanks for checking!
He's ba-a-a-a-a-ck!! After lurking for a couple of years to focus on more positive things when Wordplay seemed to take on a mean tone, I was encouraged by our Central North Carolina WordPlay meet up lunch today at the O Henry grill in Greensboro! Jim, Maggie, CatPet, Liz, Becky, Leapy, David, and I were there swapping travel stories and fav's about puzzle solving. I brought people up to date of my 18 months of chemo (so far) and how I kept my streak alive while waiting in OR for surgery for a broken hip. The nurses thought I was nuts! today's rabbit hole: ROut vs ROMP. Maybe I'll de-lurk more now. Positive vibes to all!!!
OT: NYT just jacked up crossword subscription `MORE THAN 25%!!!' from 39.95 to $50!!! Less value, higher price. Wanna bet if this comment makes it past the emus? Just what I need as I enter 5th week of chemo!
@Mike I can't function, plane and simple, at this hour of the day. Y I'll never know.
SHUTE switchup: make the SH-->C transition in the SHLUES, not the answers! Puzzle, Mini, Wordle, Connections all done starting at 4:30 am...now with the first round of chemo injections behind me, (actually in front of me as they were in belly fat), will head back to bed!
Never having shopped west coast markets, Breyers before Dreyers. Three references to British political parties: Labour, LibDem, Retrograde (jk!). Good fresh cluing for the most part!
Other baseball references: ROPE: line drive POP: short high hit hot POTATO: drill practicing throwing ball around infield TATER (Potato): home run CUPS: protection for family jewels TAGS: how you get out AXE: special handle on bat for better grip DRY HEAT: several baseball tournaments use this name
alway amazed by extended anagrams, plus good cluing!
@Marshall Walthew I and the public know what all school children learn Those to whom evil is done Do evil in return. Don't know why I remember this from freshman year at Nontre Dame 1973...
smoothest rebus in a long time! Almost at Tuesday puzzle!!
@Ana That's why there are solvable down clues! :)
