I needed some crosses for EPHEDRA and TOELOOP in the NE, and for the Spoonerisms themselves, but really there were no big slowdowns on which I can blame my slowish time. CRUSOE didn't fool me for a second.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-46386025720136986382020-05-08T07:32:44.111-04:002020-05-08T07:32:44.111-04:00Hi Bruce, thanks for checking in.

And speaking of alma maters, did you see that Beloit's hybrid plan for school in the fall is getting national attention?

Mind you, this ELe Long seemed an odd one.<br /><br />I loved the theme, but with three theme entries, I would have preferred more fun in the fill.

This resulted in YIEE, which seemed like an odd but plausible exclamation, but I now see it's YIPE...Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750345624587653693noreply@blogger.com
