I've heard that, but isn't it usually egad? Anyway, no problem for me either way. Fine puzzle overall.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-52960998068670631602014-09-10T18:07:52.689-04:002014-09-10T18:07:52.689-04:008:44. It's gotten to the point that I entered ...8:44. It's gotten to the point that I entered ECARD without any crosses. I liked the theme fine, and I held back from looking at 69A until I'd entered all the long answers, which gave me a cute little Aha moment. Brief, but cute. I agree with the long down clues being more interesting. The rest of the fill is meh. PERYEAR... OLDTOWN... BONAMI... READON?! I liked the clue for OCTET, which should have come faster than it did. The clue for 67A (Common-sense) threw me, as I was not expecting the adjective form that the dash implies. A number of abbreviations add to the lack of interest (ETS, SPEC, CERT, PRES, ADM). Meh overall.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
