I can't recall my exact time today, but it was around 10:50, I think. I started out poorly with "sass" at 1A, reinforced incorrectly by entering "attitude" at 2D: Something that may be stiff (UPPERLIP, much better than my guess). But it all got sorted out quickly enough when FILEMENU had to go in. I love SPLITSVILLE over BEERBELLY and HANKAARON over AREYOUBLIND. Those are some excellent combinations, and a very enjoyable Friday overall.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
