Gotta love a Pope theme. Horace, you must have enjoyed seeing one of your favorite chess players--whose name also comprises your initials! "pneu" is more well-known than "notre"??? Not in my world. Very solid quartet of 7-letter stacks. At first I was lukewarm on COMENOW for "You've gotta be joking . . ." but now I kind of like it. englishteacher59https://www.blogger.com/profile/16790678319090827125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-4203034555685455422013-04-03T08:10:51.336-04:002013-04-03T08:10:51.336-04:00I thought you'd enjoy this one.I thought you'd enjoy this one.

I, of course, loved the pope theme as well, having just seen Benedict XVI at the Vatican. Sue and I just watched a "Locked Up Abroad" that took place in Sierra LEONE, and I thought that 54A "Abduction destination in fanciful stories" was clever. Also, 24D "Ring champ Max" was nice since I always enjoyed Jr. (Jethro, of course). Anyway, this is the first time I've had a better time than your team.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
