      Terrific puzzle, and your LAT grid from today was wonderful as well. First I though you had a G-T thing going in the LAT puzzle and was waiting for gin and tonic. Not there, alas, but I can always make myself one! Keep 'em coming - I always enjoy your puzzles!

        Thanks Jeff! Enjoy the G&T😉

        Great job on both. We’re usually in the shadow of 11A so that was a nice change lol you’re getting to be a regular there.

          Thanks! When I was putting this together, one of my thoughts was "will this give Grant an earworm?"😂
          • Grant Kennell 9:54 · 2023-08-15T18:20:29.353Z
            I’m flattered lol

          I do the LA Times Crossword first thing every morning. I was glad to see you there again! Two awsome puzzles from the same constructor in one day - excellent!
