Is it really Wednesday today? This crossword feels more like Thursday or Friday. I can usually do the Wednesday ones but didn't get anywhere with this one.

I still remember the time, not that long ago, when I had half a chance at Sunday puzzles. They seem to have gotten a lot harder recently. I for one no longer enjoy them.

This is not a Wednesday crossword. To me this is not a "breath of fresh air", it's frustratingly evil.

Must be an American thing to have milk and a cookie. I'd have a glass of milk with a sandwich for lunch. I'd figured out the cookies, but couldn't fit coffee or tea into those four squares...

I regularly take issue with the plurals used in the NYT crossword but 61A today is a new low. Catalogs full of IKEAS? Really? What's next? "Countries bordering the USA" - "Mexicos"?
