Took me two guesses, but I got it! I like what you guys did with this one. Will now try to look at it from the standpoint of a new solver.

Great job guys--an easy start to the werk

Very clever. It took a while for the second penny to drop, but when it did, it doubled my admiration.

Fun!

Lots of fun!

Nice job! I did like 68A. Peter's clue required no Googlin' for me.

Very clever. I had both answers but tried to link them somehow. Stopped trying and just submitted! Still puzzling over the MGWCC though.

Love the shape of the grid! Also hooray for the logarithm clue because that's a name I know; would not have gotten it with just Wendy's and Peter's clues. I got the meta on the first try, but I don't understand how the 8LW fits other than to provide scaffolding for the 4LW. Is it like a flask that you put in your pocket?
Reread the prompt. Two words (8 letters and 4 letters) associated with a pocket. The words have separate associations.
(There may be a stronger click for drinkers)
Very nice and very fun, Folks! Knowing the way this forum veers, I was trying for something along the lines of a hip flask all along. But I do see a relationship between the two -- -- years of caring for two-year-old half-pints always found me with crumpled tissues and their other dregs and snippets in my pockets.
Interestingly enough I had never heard of a Kangaroo word or any of its variants. How apropos that Nun of us thought how a convent may be something witch is ominous ; -)

Took me 3 tries. Fantastic puzzle muggles!

That last nudge finally released my inner Joey:
Facepalm.
Calm.
All three jobs very nicely done!
Thanks so much for the MMM
Fumbled this one because I couldn't count to 8, I guess or I missed one of the stars/numbers. I don't know what short-circuited in my brain. Didn't really need the nudges except that I realized from them that there had to be 8 starred clues, and then the rest was straightforward after I replaced the fuse.

Wow! I had the answer all along, but I needed those nudges to be sure. So much fun! Thank you all!

Thanks Wendy for the nudge! Wasn’t sure how “half-pint” was connected to pockets until she explained :)
Facepalm. Calm. All three jobs very nicely done! Thanks so much for the MMM
