A smile-inducing, reduplicative theme today. The only theme answer that I have heard in normal conversation is SPARRINGRING, but the others are all valid, at least in a crossword puzzle valid kind of way.
DEVICEVICE - Screen addiction, e.g.
SPARRINGRING - Where boxers trade jabs
INTELLIGENTGENT - Clever chap
NOBELISTLIST - Nelson Mandela, Malala Yousafzai, Linus Pauling, Martin Luther King Jr. and so on
FELINELINE - "Meow, meow, meow!," e.g.
OK, FELINELINE is borderline. And speaking of, my niece's son is trying to get us to a cat cafe today. It's his last day with us in Rome, and the two items on the agenda are getting into the Pantheon, and getting to the cat cafe. And then if there's time, maybe the Appian Way.
Doesn't it seem like a cat cafe would be a better fit in EGYPT?
ROUE (Hedonistic sort) is a bit of an outlier on a Monday, and I wasn't sure whether they'd want ISLES or islas for "Majorca and Minorca," but things worked themselves out.
A breezy Monday. I think Frannie takes over tomorrow, and I'll see you in a few.
