It seems like the comments is a good place for time discussion, if that's wanted. All I did was to stop making it the first thing I posted when starting a review. It crossed my mind, actually, to just move it to the comments, but so far I haven't done so.<br /><br />I have nothing against sharing or discussion of solve times.

I have to say, though, that for me, a good deal of the fun, especially for an early week solve, is the time. I mean, the NYT isn't going to trip me up very often, even though the clues and answers are almost always interesting, and I like to aspire to the better times that I see others post. In other words, I am not among those intimidated by others' achievements. Anyway, this was a normal Monday time for me. I have not seen GALGADOT in the role as yet, but did see all of the LYNDACARTER episodes when they aired. I do mean to watch the movies when I get to them, but I am famously a few years behind on cinema. Like Colum, though, I tend toward Marvel if I have to make a choice. For example, "Jessica Jones" was quite good and, like he says, she's flawed, which makes her seem more accessible. Sue and I are thinking of going on SAFARI, but in Santa Rosa CA, not in Africa. We may even spend the night.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-14904144674954892522021-01-04T22:37:00.312-05:002021-01-04T22:37:00.312-05:00Well if this is timeless day I won't mention h...Well if this is timeless day I won't mention how long my solve was today except to say oooh this is a lot of celebrity/character names. Especially for someone, such as myself, who is dimly if at all familiar with DC Comics and various adaptations in movies, TV, etc.<br /><br />In non celebrity name related matters, am I the only one who tried inuiT before ALEUT? I'm a bit amused those are both five letters and close to the same part of the world.<br /><br />Favorite answer? I'm going to go with ASPHALT. Just because it is a word whose spelling doesn't really trip off the fingers but which also is..... well a common word.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.com
