Most people know that sports figures are generally unknown to me, so JAMAL Crawford is not a name I've heard, and I'm not particularly familiar with the term DOYEN, but I seem to remember hearing it before. Always nice to see the ODETOJOY. I tried peyOte at 1D off of the OBI cross, which served to slow me down in the NW for a while. I don't know the JOJOBA, nor did I know ANUBIS or LOQUATS up there. JUNOESQUE is similarly a new term for me, but I hope to have a chance to use it at some point. I guess we can give a shout out to the DCUP.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-9013710558357150652021-01-10T08:06:59.204-05:002021-01-10T08:06:59.204-05:00Add me to the list of admirers.

When I had __AR for "V.I.P. of industry," for example, I didn't hesitate for a moment in choosing the CZ beginning instead of TS. :)Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-69765789742819710992021-01-09T14:52:27.697-05:002021-01-09T14:52:27.697-05:00Super good time with this one!

My last letter to fall in was the D in DOTTED...only because I wanted the answer to be JOTTED. But gee, given the down word that would result from that? I don't think so. :-)Kelly Clarknoreply@blogger.com
