I thought the themed answers were fun - DEFINITE ARTICLE made me smile. I assumed 44A would end in VICTORY before understanding theme which threw me off for a bit but managed to get back on track. At the end, the middle section stumped me for longer than I would have liked for a Wednesday - didn't love the combination of TRA LA, SEEPY, BELL LAP, and IN A. Felt a little clunky. All in all a fun puzzle though!

Hit my Tuesday PR! Got in such a groove, super straightforward Tuesday yet still satisfying :-)
