Sage colored Sage. Clue of the week. Or year.

My 3000th completed NYT crossword intersecting with Mr. Rooney's debut. But, of course! Thanks for the BONDing time.

Great puzzle Kyle. Enjoyed very much. Deb...I dont read the column too much anymore but 5 years ago when I started my NYT puzzle subscription your column was invaluable and an inspiration to keep trying. Plus, just funny. I wish you the best whatever the future holds for you. A warm and sincere Thank You!

I hate when I go over my average time, but this was a fair and excellent debut. Should be a great retirement pursuit beyond your travels. Thanks.
