BORGE is a bit old-school, as is BOGGS, but alas, I dropped them both right in. And unlike Frannie, I needed all of the crosses for GHOSTED, which I've not heard in my circles.

I liked seeing the clue for TUNA (53D "Chicken of the sea") as it reminded me of the somewhat dated "Sorry, Charlie" advertisements on the TV. And I, also, would rather be STARGAZING, though I don't know how much of that goes on at your typical observatory. Well, I'm going to BOUNCE.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-4352940512811956082018-07-11T22:09:21.219-04:002018-07-11T22:09:21.219-04:005:13
