I wasn't aware of what the theme was until reading Frannie's review, which isn't unusual for early-week puzzles for me. It's almost time for a few COLDONES, but not beers; Saturdays are for martinis and/or vodka-sodas. That's a well-known fact.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-24880618963821412162019-04-11T20:14:00.771-04:002019-04-11T20:14:00.771-04:005:02

But that didn't last long because of ADWEEK (not that I knew Ad Week has an Agency of the Year, but who else would it be?).<br /><br />Nice clue for AGEISTS, and SEQUOIAS is a fun answer.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.com
