Lovely puzzle and a beautiful tribute to your friend. I’m so sorry for your loss, Ms. Baik, especially as you are so young, but I know for sure Arjun would be extremely proud of you. Please keep making puzzles!

This was a really lovely puzzle—not just biased because the SABRES are my team of choice despite their terrible record of the past few years. Loved the shoutouts to queer history and the creative trivia, too. Owen, please keep making crosswords! I look forward to the next one :)

8:34 for me, an absolute record! Got very lucky with some of the longer clues so neat to know I’m in sync with the constructor. Happy Friday :)

I’m so sorry for your loss, Deb. Losing a parent is so hard and it colours everything that comes afterwards. I’m glad you have happy crossword memories with him—thank you for sharing with us. Thinking of you and your family and sending big, big hugs.
