I guess I don't quite understand 38D Equals, in math (ARE), but other than that, this was a fun puzzle, and I enjoyed the theme. I agree with Colum on the crossing of POEHLERBARE crossing DISROBED as being quite nice. I may not do the Friday and Saturday puzzles since I'm currently on vacation in FL, but we'll see.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-8382573419747531072015-04-30T20:53:47.892-04:002015-04-30T20:53:47.892-04:0014:47.

I wanted a orchestral conductor there, so nice misdirection. CODERED, ORIGAMI, and PIGGIES are fine, and POEHLERBARE is the best of the theme answers (not to mention that it crosses DISROBED!)<br /><br />So everything was a little downhill from there. I entered "one term" for LBJ, which slowed down the SW. 8A: Case for a lawyer, maybe (ATTACHE) fooled me not one second, on the other hand. 16A: Performers with lots of fans? (GEISHAS) took me longer, but I have to quibble: what kind of performing are these geishas doing?<br /><br />ALDENTE was excellent.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
