I wasn't feeling this one as much as you guys. It was a nice enough puzzle, I guess, but nothing really grabbed me. I am kind of an idiot, though (Not a new revelation to any of you, of course . . .). I looked up what I thought was a new word for me before realizing that aplus is really A+. So it goes.englishteacher59https://www.blogger.com/profile/16790678319090827125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-90833927541905512242013-05-13T18:38:59.621-04:002013-05-13T18:38:59.621-04:001:07:13

I got ASIMOV right away: Nemesis is one of my favorites by the master, along with many of his others. At first I had FORD for 49D, but things weren't going well over there until I changed it to OPEL, which worked much better, as you can imagine. I also enjoyed the NORTH vs. SOUTH clues, and the unusual clue for ACDC (56D Power option). Good Sunday puzzle and good time.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-73501205906260254802013-05-12T21:17:19.933-04:002013-05-12T21:17:19.933-04:00I enjoyed this puzzle.

And Renee Fleming is a nice addition. I got LOOKBEFOREYOULEAP about 4 answers in, but it took a nice amount of time to get the long-winded version.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
