And PIAZZA always makes me think of Huygens and his wife, and the story they tell of getting directions in Italy from an Italian who spoke no English. They speak no Italian, and all that my sister took away from the long explanation was that they should eventually come upon "una PIAZZA!"Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-41411925331087332672020-05-02T11:54:54.580-04:002020-05-02T11:54:54.580-04:0025:05

And seven Zs in the NE/E must surely be a record, as Colum mentions. Always happy to see PRECALC, especially on my birthday, as well as ORATORIO and NOVA. This played a little harder for me than a normal Friday, but no specific section gave me an inordinate amount of trouble. The JAFFA/JAINISM cross was my final entry.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
