tests ruled out strep throat and virus (my white blood cell count is
normal), so the doctor said it might be flu. He said it lasts 7-14 days. Today is #11 day for me. My first ever flu. Coughing night and day is so draining.

C.C.
Morning, all!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're not feeling well, C.C. I hope it's over soon!
I couldn't read the theme for today's puzzle online due, apparently, to the accent marks which couldn't be rendered ("Résumé"). So I had no idea what I was looking for. IN the end, though, I suppose I didn't actually need to know the theme to get the theme answers, so no harm, no foul.
Lot's of unknowns today that required perp help and some WAGging. BERCEUSE, PONTI, VICAR (as clued), BRUINS (as clued), ALEVE (as clued), PNC and CPO. The fact that the latter two crossed was particularly thorny for me, and I nearly went with PNG/GPO. CPO just looked more miliatary to me, however, so I went with that and got the *TADA*.
Sorry you are ill, CC. Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteCVs must be curriculum vitae s.
More later.
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteI printed my puzzle from the LA Times website, and the title showed up as "Rsums" Thank you again, Barnacle, for dropping the Sunday LAT.
Well, I got it. Either my brain isn't up to par this morning, or this one was tougher than normal. My DWEEB started out as a LONER. I guessed V-TEN, because a V-ONE would be really hard to manufacture. Neither BERCEUSE nor PNC was familiar, so the last fill was COUP. With only the _OU_ in place, I had to do an alphabet run to come up with the answer.
C.C., hope you feel better soon. I did chuckle at your 'Sexist [sic] Man Alive" comment. So far as that body part is concerned: When Elvis first appeared on TV back in the '50's his wild gyrations earned him the nickname "Elvis Pelvis."
The Week in Review:
ReplyDeleteM 6:10 T 9:35 W 10:47 T 13:04 F 13:06 S 22:03 S 27:31
The first part of the week seemed a tad crunchier than normal and Saturday's puzzle was the usual daunting challenge. In other words, WEES. Today I was stuck in the SE and my self-imposed time limit was looming. Then I got the theme which gave me CVS and COVERVERSION and the rest as they say, was history. A very enjoyable week.
Speaking of history, this week's weather in the beautiful mid-Hudson valley gave Poughkeepsie a record high of 71°F on Monday and a record low of 13°F on Saturday. Click here for other instances when record highs and lows occurred within one week (once in two consecutive days!).
See y'all next weekend.
CVs make for a relatively quick Sunday puzzle as the number of answers is considerably narrowed. Nevertheless, a fun time.
ReplyDeleteThis puzzled did me in because I could not get the SW due to an amateur mistake on 98A. I wrote UCLAN for Bruin, which gave me Business PLAN instead of TRIP and MISPLAY instead of MISCUES. UNO, UNE, or UNA dept me from getting a FREE PASS. I knew Dave MARR was correct, and guesses MOANS would be the answer but it wouldn't fit; Shakespeare's First FOLIO was unknown. The Draining aid clue was a poor one because the gutter is the draining aid; the eave just hangs over the edge. There were two words I have never run across that I did get through the crosses: BERCEUSE and cinema VERITE. Other unknowns solved by perps were COVER VERSION, SMEWS, ARCO, PNIN, RYDER, DIORS, PNC, ENOCH.
ReplyDeleteOther misdirections were SLY DOG for SLY FOX because I had NAG for VEX.
I spent too much time on the puzzle and even thought the CV was easy to get, I still have no idea what it has to do with a resume.
Big Easy, as Yellowrocks said CV stands for Curriculum Vitae, the academic way to refer to a resume.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this though it was not easy for a Sunday. WEES plus USE ME AS the answer to I am available seems wrong.
Lots of golf and basic Spanish which helped.
C.C., recalling g that John Alden and Priscilla married in 1622 was difficult for me as well.
Lots of Vees
Hello Puzzlers -
ReplyDeleteSlow but steady today. Last to fall was that middle west, because I couldn't see Well Set for the longest time. Berceuse was familiar because my mom was a lifelong piano teacher. Winona Ryder was a gimme; lately we've been on a Winona spree with Netflix. Most recently it was American Quilt, next up is Little Women.
Morning, C.C., I am sorry you're not feeling well. I think the other capital city must be Hartford CT. Route I-84 goes along the north edge of the city, just a few blocks away from the restaurant where we locals met up with the adventurous Montana.
Blue Iris from yesterday - loved your Thanksgiving story! Your daughter must have worked her tail off to get that much cooking done.
Relatedly, power was just restored yesterday at my sister's rural home. They're used to such inconvenience. It didn't mar Thanksgiving for us.
Pete Rose was not an outfielder.
ReplyDeletePelvis refers to Elvis Pressley - Elvis the Pelvis.
I remember the famous quote, "Speak for yourself, John," supposedly made by Priscilla when John Alden proposed to her in the name of Miles Standish. In the end it was John who married Priscilla.
ReplyDeleteEAVE is okay by me because it aids draining by directing the water to the downspout.
We used the word OVERTIRE(d) a lot. When our babies were overtired they were cranky. Time to play BERCEUSE.
I knew BERCEUSE because I married a music teacher and attended recitals. Also my ex had a huge library of recorded classical music.
Although many of the answers were suggested by a few perps the only really unknowns were PNIN (now it faintly rings a bell)and CV's, all perps until I cogitated long and hard to come up with Curriculum Vitae.
Per Wikipedia: "In 1999, Rose was selected as an outfielder on the Major League Baseball All-Century Team."
ReplyDeleteHad to take a DNF due to carelessness today. I wasn't able to figure out the C and P in Coup on the first pass, and forgot to go back.
ReplyDeleteAn eave can definitely be a drainage aid since it gets runoff away from a foundation, if only by a small margin. In fact, FHA requires that a house must have a 1' eave if one story and a 2' eave if two story, or it must have gutters and downs if those specs are not met.
And while I've never prepared a CV, it's my understanding that it is an amplified version of a resume, not simply another name for one. It's generally accepted that a resume should be one page. A CV is typically several pages and goes into much greater detail.
Sorry to hear of your flu, C.C. But you are at least nearer the end than the onset.
Any excuse to link tuneagement. First time I ever heard the term CV was in a Sting song 21 years ago on the album Ten Summoner's Tales: Nothing 'Bout Me
ReplyDeleteGreetings!
ReplyDeleteTough puzzle, but managed to muddle through after quite some time. Thanks Michele, CC!
Have only minimal knowledge of golf!
Get better, CC! I know how you feel. I was on antibiotics for a skin infection and fell prey to my first chest cold in many, many years, after sitting in a car with an extreme cougher for Thanksgiving rides to and fro.
Lots of misspellings and grammatical blunders today.
NetWord puzzle was more fun!
Cheers!
Morning everyone,
ReplyDeletePete Rose moved to the outfield when Cincy traded with Houston for 2nd baseman Joe Morgan. During his time in Philly, he also played the outfield.
Today's puzzle reminded me that I never have liked the "congestion" associated with Sunday puzzles.
I managed to get most of it, but a couple of screw ups led to a DNF.
Left the crossing I for 17D & 65A out. Would have wagged one of the vowels, but no idea which one. For 123A & 113D, had a T instead of the crossing C. Finally, the crossing A for 36A & 36D was an I on my fill.
That's my tale of woe for today.
CC, hope you are better real soon.
Get well soon, C.C.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Michele Kane for a well-done puzzle.
Good Morning:
ReplyDeleteGetting the theme quickly made this an easy and fun solve. Cute fill with ABCs and RRR.
Congrats, Michele, and thanks, CC, for hanging in there to do the expo. Hope you feel better soon.
Have a great Sunday.
Wait a minute, that Loren is Sophia, not some literary character, and I remember PONTI. Uh, I won’t be stopping at Natickville today despite PNIN! It took some effort but I got there.

Good morning, folks. Thank you, Michele Kane, for a fine puzzle. Thank you, C.C., for a fine review.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon, C.C. I am ill myself with the shingles.
Never checked in yesterday. I could not get to first base on Saturday's puzzle. It is still sitting on the kitchen table. I look at it now and then and pick up another word.
Today's puzzle went much easier. Only took me about 3 1/2 hours. Them appeared and it did help with the puzzle, some.
Never recalled COIT Tower in SF. I used to work there, too. Perped it.
HAWAII was also my first word. Had to think a minute.
BERCEUSE was a perper. I am sure it is the name of an opera or song.
Tried BASE before NACL.
RIEN was perps.
Forgot about ARCO until I read the blog today. With a bow. Had the word, but did not know why.
Off to my suffering. See you tomorrow.

I wonder if this theme morphed from an alternate seed entry. I think CV JOINTS (awesome animations, btw) would be a more interesting reveal than the ordinary and lackluster CVS. Then the title for the puzzle could be Homokinetic and a learning moment for many solvers. Oh well, "If your so smart than do it yourself", which I cannot. Nice job, Michele Kane.
ReplyDeleteBERCEUSE, the c is pronounced as s, is a generic name for a composition in 6/8 time resembling a lullaby. I prefer this violin berceuse by FAURÉ to Chopin's piano one.
ReplyDeleteLink FAURÉ
Abejo, I sympathize, shingles is a nasty, painful malady.
Blue Iris, what a wonderful daughter to be so helpful.
Anon T, how proud you must be of your daughter.
Gerolamo, I prefer Michele,s version.
Interesting observation there Gerolamo. Maybe I should give this crossword construction gig a try. Just how much do they pay you for creating one of these wordplay thingies?
ReplyDeleteEnos. Very funny, HG.
ReplyDeleteHey Bo. I'm sorry to hear about your......career counseling session. But I was thinking about you this morning while I read Dilbert
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteGood morning all ! Thank you Michelle and thank you CC.
CC, I hope you start feeling much better real soon. You too Abejo !
Overall, I think really good fill and clues in this puzzle. Normal "gimmes" had to be proved. So it took much longer than it should have taken.
Ditto on first fill HAWAII. Also, hand up for never having heard of BERCEUSE.
I had never heard of CINEMA VERITE, but after reading the link that CC provided, I get it.
Such a shame about Pete Rose. He could have had it all.
Pittsburgh's PNC Park is beautiful, even from the outside. We got on the Just Ducky tour at Station Square and let in to the Allegheny west of the Water Steps just above the confluence. (I didn't get QUEASY.) Before letting in, we crossed on the bridge to the right of the ballpark which is the Roberto Clemente bridge. So we drove around 3 sides, including on Mazeroski Way to the left of the ballpark. We saw the 4th side from the river.
Trivia questions. 1) There are 4 statues of HOFer Pirates at PNC. I have mentioned the names of two. Who are the other two ?
If you got the first answer, this one should be easy. 2) The statue of which ballplayer was first at Forbes, moved to Three Rivers, and now stands at PNC ? (This would be a gimme for card collectors CC and Hondo.
Have you heard of the recent discovery First Folio ?
It's a shame about Ohio State QB JT Barrett in yesterday's game. Now a tough row to hoe for the Buckeyes.
The Steelers will be on TV in just a few minutes so I have to run.
Running late today, but I wanted to congratulate Michele on her LAT debut. I did read the title, but immediately forgot all about it as soon as I started filling in the answers.
ReplyDeleteI have used both CVs and resumes in my career, and hope I never have to submit another one. Retirement is around the corner!
C.C., yes. I notice that Rich allows longer partials in a Sunday grid. THE DOGS would certainly qualify, but since it's the only partial in the grid, I suppose he let it pass.
I hope you're feeling better soon, C.C.!
'Berceuse' literally means "cradle song".
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon all,
ReplyDeleteSundays always take awhile, but I seemed to flow thru much of it easily; unfortunately there were made points of stickiness too. The NE and SW corners were filled with natnicks, and I did a lot of wagging. Perps aided me with DEA, DIA, PNC, REF,PNIN, and Marr. Aldens makes no sense to me. Berceuse is new too.
I neglected to see the CV pattern after filling all but cinema verite, not in my vocab, AND CVs rudely crossed vivace. To me, CVS is my local drug store.
I did enjoy the workout, and some very nice cluing.
C.C., hope you are on your way to feeling better. And Abejo, you take care of yourself too.
Anyone want to write an ode to puddles? We have had some glorious rain these last 2 mornings, which means there is new snow... REAL snow, in the Sierras! YAY!
JD, I've Ben noticing the radar for your area today and yesterday, and couldn't be happier for you. The strangest part is that this is currently the only system in the country that has any substance. NOAA Radar. If any place needs it, it's the Bay Area.
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon! I liked the puzzle and got stuck in several of Michele's traps. WEES. Thanks Michele and CC.
ReplyDeleteThere is supposed to be some rain on the way. I hope so.
I subscribed to the NYT puzzles a couple of months back. On some of the harder puzzles, I find myself getting a bit frustrated and sometimes feel the tricky clues are a bit unfair. I almost never feel that way with Rich's puzzles. I think I remember Jayce expressing somewhat the same opinion a while ago.
Here's a little puzzle I enjoyed. If you solve it, you can post your answer because the reason for your answer won't be apparent. (So don't give your reasoning.)
Ordering puzzle
Can you rank the following words in a logical order? The hoped-for order is trickier and more enjoyable than alphabetical or something mundane like that; and, I’ve already given you a hint.
Cook, governor, league, practice, mustard, pepper, admission, punishment
JD, See my earlier post @9:02. John Alden married Priscilla Mullens soon after the Pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock. There is a Longfellow poem called The Courtship of Miles Standish which tells how Standish sent John Alden to convey his wish to marry Priscilla, but Priscilla preferred John, whom she subsequently married. These three were real people who came over on the Mayflower and John and Priscilla did marry, but some of Longfellow's details are most likely apocryphal.
ReplyDeleteWell, Bill G.'s puzzle stumped me so I did what any red-blooded American boy would do. I Googled it. You can find the answer here. You won't see the solution right away; you have the option of displaying a hint.
ReplyDeleteCan any of you techies help me? I can easily attach documents from WORD to my emails, but I can't figure out how to attach a folder. If it involves zipping, the only thing I can zip is my coat, although I have unzipped files sent to me. I would appreciate your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteHow files are attached depends on your e-mail client. I'm not sure you can attach a folder (what we used to call a directory). You may have to attach the files individually (though can attach more than one file to an e-mail message). Your ISP may have limits on the size of attached files (either individually or in total).
ReplyDeleteThink of the folder as a shelf in the library. You can't borrow the shelf but you can borrow all the books on the shelf.
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon, C.C. and friends. I rather enjoyed this puzzle. Getting the unifier helped with some of those theme clues. At least I knew where to start with the initial "C".
ReplyDeleteThis explains the difference between a Resume and a Curricula Vitae. I have used both in my career.
I really wanted a Car Chase in lieu of a SQUAD CAR for a police show staple.
Hand up for Jolie before RYDER, too.
I hope you are feeling better soon, C.C. Has your doctor checked for allergies? I coughed and coughed and coughed and found muscles I didn't know I had before I was finally diagnosed with allergies.
QOD: A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying … that he is wiser today than yesterday. ~ Jonathan Swift (Nov. 30, 1667 ~ Oct. 19, 1745)
Lime Rickey, thank you. I just now attached the docs one by one. Someone else will be writing the square dance caller contracts this coming year. I sent him all of last year's contracts so that he can use SAVE AS and only has to retype the new dates and other changing info.
ReplyDeleteA great big yellow rock to you.
If you care, the final season of The Mentalist starts tonight. Personally, I thought it was over already.
ReplyDeleteHi all. A DNF for me. Couldn't get the"asy" in queasy...due to nadir instead of noair. Missed the Chopin lullaby, too. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, as JD said, we are loving this rain!
Argyle, I'm with you. We quit The Mentalist a few seasons ago. But "The Newsroom" is back with a vengeance. LOVE Aaron Sorkin. Jeff Daniels, Sam Waterston and Jane Fonda. Great show.
Hope you feel better, C.C. Take it easy.
Over and out.
If you haven't seen this story of a modern-day Charlie Brown Christmas tree, here you go. Ugly Christmas tree
ReplyDeleteThanks Yellowrocks! I should have remembered him; haven't read that poem for awhile.. maybe college.
ReplyDeleteAvg. Joe, we may get showers all week So refreshing accompanied by lovely rainbows.
It's been a miserable week of puzzle solving. I easily got the CV gimmick for today, but there were far too many little obscurities scattered throughout the grid.
ReplyDeleteJust last spring, Nebraska's Athletic Director extended Bo Pelini's contract by another year to 2018. Curious.
Get better soon C.C.
HI all!
ReplyDeleteOh, I only had about 30 min to play today before reading what everyone thought about the puzzle. I'm glad I'm not the only one in the "too-much" fill camp.
I got 119d on the 1st pass - I guess having UK friends and DW in academia forced CVs to mind.
To all the cornerites who commented on eldest's achievement - darn tootin' I'm a proud papa!
Congrats Michele on the puzzle. Thanks C.C. for the writeup/answers and get better soon.
Cheers, -T
Hahtoolah.
ReplyDeleteNo. I don't have teary eyes or runny nose. Only persistent cough & fever & sore muscles. But I'll let him know your allergy experience next week. Thanks for the suggestion.
JD et al,
Thanks for the concern. This is driving me insane. Just no sign of letting up.
berceuse is a french name for a lullaby
ReplyDelete
