That made the NW the final area I finished. I had to run the alphabet at the cross of DOLTS and LEVIN. I also had WATAsec, then WAITAtIc , then finally WAITABIT. ATHLETES foot is kind of gross. We watched A Night At The Opera last night, so I enjoyed the Grouch reference.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-60119011592678895232015-12-26T11:06:19.193-05:002015-12-26T11:06:19.193-05:0036:03 (FWTE)

I, in addition to the aforementioned REIMANN (fill for which I needed two crosses), enjoyed SINE and GEMINI. It was bold of the NYT to include FATALBERT in a puzzle, what with all the fuss over his creator nowadays. My errors were because I entered SeVERe at 49A and didn't check the crosses, like a dolt. HEYNOW should have been clued referencing either "The Larry Sanders Show," "Iko Iko" or Howard Stern. PAWN was nicely clued (29A One getting an across-the-board promotion?), despite the question mark. I had one of my two week ANG stints on FTDIX; they have a nice NCO club.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
