Since it took me about 39 seconds longer to ...27:51<br />Since it took me about 39 seconds longer to solve than it took for Horace, one would need to do about the same thing to Colum's cumulative times for the week to get to my own for today's, more-or-less. That said, this still went a little too quickly for my liking for a Sunday. I think that the well-done theme makes up for the less-than-desirable fill in spots (TRIB, YMA, NONET). And there were quite a few gems, like WETWIPE, MIMOSAS, TSARDOM, DOIDARE, NIHAO, RIPSAW, CHESTER, ARRIBA, VOLARE, SAWSLOGS and RUBES. Also, I liked that "Contact" was represented in C[RAY]ONTACT, and that "Star Wars" was in there with the slightly awkward S[T]AR[TED]WARS, where the first circled "T" is unrelated to the across. I'd give this an overall thumbs up, even with SPIT in there.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
