CLEOPATRA went right in for me, too, but RACETOTHEBOTTOM took many crosses (TOO many), and LETHE isn't known to me as I never had a proper classical education, and am playing catch-up as a result all during my middle and later years (of my life so far). PASTY is a word that I've used often to describe people. The clue for EIEIO (27D Letters sung as mi, mi, re, re, do) is pretty good.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-15806767590978092502018-07-06T22:17:39.744-04:002018-07-06T22:17:39.744-04:00Oh, and completely agree about NOB.

I love love love RACETOTHEBOTTOM going down the center, crossing MEETINTHEMIDDLE going across the whole puzzle. That's fine work. This is an outstanding Friday puzzle.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-64973436251318963742018-07-06T11:09:30.278-04:002018-07-06T11:09:30.278-04:00I think maybe it would normally have a hyphen, but...I think maybe it would normally have a hyphen, but the question mark allows them to leave it out.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-1332106166249600242018-07-06T11:08:45.452-04:002018-07-06T11:08:45.452-04:00Decrease as in "take the creases out of"...Decrease as in "take the creases out of" a shirt, for example, with an iron.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-27965527914144049032018-07-06T10:55:21.238-04:002018-07-06T10:55:21.238-04:00I may be dense.
