My thanks to John Kugelman for an enjoyable solve and a reminder to get new reading glasses.
Ms. Iverson's revealers usually prompt an AHA!! Today it was a HUH?!
In my part of the country, HOSTA is better clued as 'deer cabbage'
Any bets on whether the Monday puzzle makes it three GOATEEs in a row?
I foresee another round of carping regarding ATTAway. I'm glad that Deb referred to PSI resembling a trident, rather than the pitchfork recently proposed by Wyna Liu.
The thrill of solving the center BLOCKed out all memories of the mental anguish endured in completing this very very very clever puzzle
@Steven M. I think the operative words in the clue are "a spell" Contestants in a spelling bee typically stand while attempting to correctly spell the word given to them.
@Pani Korunova Another hand up for ITS NOT YOUR FAULT
25A: I'm willing to bet good money than even avid NPR listeners might have been torn between Michel MARTIN and Michele NORRIS given that both have six letter last names with third letter R and fifth letter I. Doubly confusing when each first name is a homonym for MICHELLE!!
@Gary Another hand up for that noble sentiment, whether on a bumper sticker or not.
Anyone else start with BONMOTS before switching to RETORTS?
Well, at least I completed the NW corner (including THALAMI, TORPOR & NY STATE) unassisted.
@Allison B. I think it's an attempt at word play on the phrase 'Last In Line'
