      this certainly was "um, hard"

        Mostly made it... but non knowing AMBIEN, DETS, LAUER, and RIMRHYMES (which is a fun word but I thought it would end in -PHONES) I had to use autocheck for the last few letters. EXPONENT was a great clue!

          my brain's feeling all buzzy now, a great mind workout!

            Thanks for the supportive comments ... it means a lot! I promise tomorrow's Mostly Musical Mini and Saturday's full-size will be less of a mental workout, thought hopefully still fun.
