Happy ‘Murica Time, y’all. I just came back from a week-long stay in Chicago, replete with good times with family ‘n friends, viewings of movies both sweet and terrible, and trips down memory lane. You see that poem above? I discovered that while cleaning out my old bedroom in my parents’ house. I wrote that gem sometime around 1990 when I was seven years old. I’ve now since brought that poem plus a binder of other spectacular first- and second-grade-A materials back with me to Philadelphia. You should see the drawings I made when we were doing a unit on Greek mythology — let’s just say that Odysseus never rocked a mohawk so hard.
Enjoy today’s easy offering. There will be a new puzzle on July 19.
And a happy birthday to Patrick Blindauer, indie puzzledude and Lollapuzzoola host extraordinaire!
Cute. I would have clued 52A for San Francisco.
Is Queens a community in the Bay Area? I’m not seeing it.
Queens = Gay. If you could do 29A, you could get away with almost anything. “Castro fruit?” for example, although that might be too local. “Snack for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence?”
Great breezy puzzle. Gangstawrap and cerealkiller made me laugh. All the puns were quite good. This would’ve been a Monday or Tuesday hit in the NYT though pearofqueens would’ve never made it in.
