Budding is certainly AFOOT (17A Underway). That's a word that I like. I should have starred that. PARDONME (9D "Scusi") was good, even though ET59 probably didn't like it. And it was nice to see some Spanish in there (LUNES) instead of French for a change, though, as Horace mentioned, there was some of that, too.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-37787681781697628802014-03-11T20:48:45.979-04:002014-03-11T20:48:45.979-04:007:00.

But the long non-theme answers were good, especially BEANBAG, which I initially thought was going to be something with BEAch in it. And the closing 58D (DONE) was nicely placed. I didn't love the theme because 3 of the 4 were not common enough phrases.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
