week was a bit stressful. The side effects from the new

up to do any extra activities suggested by the PT & OT ladies.
Hopefully things get better next week. We have four more appointments to deal with.

FIWrong. DaLtREY was my bane. Misspelt ARIeL, but main problem was the natick at unknown DAL_REY + _ERESA.
The theme was amusing without being to difficult. For once, I recalled that the Sunday puzzle has a title, and the title was actually helpful in figuring out the theme early!
Sundays are the hardest days for l'icks. There are too many choices, and I can't fit them all on the screen together. (Well, i could, but they'd be too small to easily read.)
The LiMu EMU may be a commercial ad debacle.
It's widely disliked, Its bedraggled feathers mottled.
The scaly Geico Gecko, tho,
Is loved as a friendly Joe.
Beyond the cultured accent, the lizard's a SCALE MODEL!
Flowing is the poetry of Maya ANGELOU,
Composed by herself, none else to answer to.
While my poetic copy
Is sometimes very choppy.
I'm writing for a line-by-LINE JUDGE -- that's You!
{B+, B.}
Good morning!
Also stumbled on DALTREY, because of my WAG, SERENA, which should've been TERESA. Fixed. This one went much faster than yesterday. The obvious theme helped a lot. As an added plus, d-o FIR. Hooray. Thanx, Fred and C.C. (I agree, ROISTERED isn't in common usage. Hope things go better for Boomer this week.)
C.C., I am so sorry to hear of the added stress on Boomer and you. We will continue to pray that the doctors are doing what is best and it will turn things around.
ROISTERED is only a Shakespeare word for me and HULOT is not a fill I remember, but it appeared in the LA Times only once, in July 2008 which was before I became a regular here. It is also before C.C. linked the solved grids or reviewed every clue/fill. MB was here then.
Thank you C.C. for all you do
Good Morning:
I liked the theme very much, particularly Spin Doctor and Con Artist, both of which were very solid, themewise. My favorite C/A was Hot Rod?=Spit. Fred gave us lots of fun duos with Lie/Tie, Stine/Spine, Rip/Rend, Asti/Soave (Hi, Moe!), Opal/Jade, Rest/Areas, Bass/Drum, Spin/Spine, and the terrific trio, Caw/Claws/Craw. He also gave us a creature mini theme with: Bees, Lab, Tiger, Emu, Caw, Pens, Craw, and Claws. And an extra bonus was the minimal number of three letter words which is an impressive feat with a large Sunday grid. The fill was pretty straightforward but Roistered was new to me as was discovering there are two Cartagenas. The only one I knew of is in South America.
Thanks, Fred, for a smooth and satisfying solve and thanks, CC, for your expert analysis and commentary. Your cultural references are always welcome and appreciated. Sorry to hear of Boomer’s problems and I wish you both better days ahead. Thanks for keeping us up to date.
Have a great day.
DNF. Looked up TERESA, which hinted DALTRY and a fix for ARIeL (hi OKL). Also fixed ARiBLE, ROMoS, RUen and RODaN, and had to replace lays with WISE, hers with DOOR (read the clue, dummy - there's no "l" in "coupe"), yak with GAB,and hied with SPED.
My favorite among Marvin GAYE's many hits is "What's Going On". Especially poignant with what's going on in Ukraine:
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, oh (Oh)
REST next to AREA was fun. Having our own on-board toilet and kitchen facilities makes stops at them pleasant for us.
Thanks to Fred for the fun Sunday challenge. My favorite was "trip up" for ASCENT. And thanks to CC for the interesting and informative review, and for the BSO (blog shout-out}. And I ADMIRE your TLC for Boomer. We caretakers can use all the support we can get.
FIW. Put alto, not the plural alti.
Musings
-It appears ROSITERED is a word and “Trip up” ASCENT” was fabulous
-Seeing Coupe as Couple and Auditioner as Auctioneer didn’t help
-A former student used her cell CAMERA to capture me singing the National Anthem last night
-A TWIST at the end – A long-dead woman in a rocking chair comes to my mind
-What Madison Avenue idiot came up with this TIE-IN?
-Nebraska couldn’t get JAILERS and so they raised the pay for $20/hr to $28/hr. Lots of applications ensued.
-Thanks for the update, C.C., even as unfortunate as it is.
Puzzling thoughts:
Hey folks, Mark McClain and I have a puzzle that published today. You can access it by going to Boston Herald Crossword. I hope if you try it you'll find it enjoyable. Thanks!
WISE were my standard potato chips growing up, it's a regional brand in most of the east coast. Likewise NORTHERS SPY apples were developed and are most popular in upstate New York.
Thanks Fred for a fine Sunday Morning FIR. I got ON THE JOB early today and solving this was pretty straightforward. The theme was a lot of fun and I like the split between horizontal and vertical themers.
Thank you C.C. for an informative review. The article on Fred appears to have gotten trapped behind a paywall since you linked it last, but here's a quick link to your 2016 interview. Fred is a prolific publisher of crossword puzzle books and also has two entries in IMDB, one as a consultant for the series "The Crossword Mysteries" and a second for appearing as himself in the documentary Wordplay, both highly recommended (especially the second).
A few favs:
20A HULOT. Did not know Jacques Tati's films, but I plan to check out a trailer.
48A MAO. "Nixon in China" is an opera by John Adams, perhaps best known for this interlude, a foxtrot called The Chairman Dances.
15D ROMA. The tomato of choice for making tomato paste. "Reisetomate"? German for "Travel tomato". I guess they're portable.
58D TERESA. My girlfriend spells her name THERESA, but goes by TERI.
79D ELGAR. "Falstaff" is also an opera by Giuseppe Verdi Verdi, his only comedy and one of my favorites. The portly knight appeared in 3 of Shakespeare's plays. Verdi's opera is based on "The Merry Wives of Windsor".
Cheers,
Bill
Word of the Day loquacious
[Podcast]
Pronunciation: lo-kway-shês
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Very talkative, chatty, using lots of words, verbose.
Notes: The noun from today's word is loquacity [lo-qwæ-sê-ti] and the adverb loquaciously. A related adjective is loquent "talking, speaking" that turns up mostly in technical writing as in, "Are chimpanzees a loquent species?" This adjective yields a noun, loquency "talk, the ability to speak". The synonym of today's word, talkative, is an accepted lexical violation in that it is made up of a native stem, talk, plus a Latin suffix -ative, two supposedly incompatible constituents. But perhaps I am waxing loquacious myself and should stop here to leave room for a few other comments on this interesting word.
In Play: Today's word is the antonym of an earlier Good Word, reticent "taciturn, untalkative": "Molly was such a reticent child, but since starting school she has become positively loquacious." Loquacity can be fun and entertaining or it can get in the way: "We want to keep today's meeting short, so I may interrupt anyone who becomes too loquacious."
Word History: Today's Good Word goes back to a Latin word with a similar meaning, loquax (loquac-s) from loqui "to speak"
For more info see Word of the Day
Bill's comment: "I resemble that remark!" 🙃
Sending my love and blessing to you and Boomer
Fun puzzle,
But deeply disappointed that I did not get "Alice".
As with most large puzzles, I was mystified by "grin without a cat"
and decided to come back to it, but Alice got perped in without me
ever seeing it. Rats!
Which reminds me, the guy who made and posted the video
of Titanic with a cat just posted a "how it was made" video.
I am reluctant to watch it lest the magic fade...
One thing I did not understand was the clue "Nixon in China" ( followed by) "role" = Mao.?
Can anyone enlighten me?
Learning moment= roistering
reminds me of me after completing a puzzle...
Note: cross eyed Dave refers to my links,
not my dressing habits! Sheesh, it was just the 1st link I found...
Must crow, or caw as 112 down! For the first time ever, I finished a Sunday puzzle without turning on the error check mode. Whoa! I expect that won't happen again anytime soon. For some reason, it seemed much easier than Saturday's.
CC, so sorry to hear about Boomer. It's very tough being the "well" one, and having to be tough yourself, while your guy goes through all this. Been there.
@CrossEyedDave I don't know if anyone answered your Mao question, but here goes. Nixon in China refers to a movie about Richard Nixon's life. In 1972 he visited China which was earth-shattering at the time. Therefore, someone had to play the role of Mao Zedong (then known as Mao Tse-Tung.) That explains the "role = Mao" clue and answer. Hope that makes sense!
Pretty good company that you are keeping, Ch. Moe. . . with you and Piscop having Sunday puzzles published on the same day.
Thanks for the update, C.C. Wishing nothing but the best for Boomer and yourself.
CrossEyedDave @12 14 AM Nixon in China is an opera by John Adams. See my post above for a brief excerpt from it.
Sigh, FIW today due to sloppiness, though during a cursory proofreading I caught one other error in time to fix it so it could have been worse.
Like KS, didn't put the plural ALTI. Thinking of horses in Kentucky, tried to make foal fit instead of COAL. And finally put IMAn/IMAM. Perps should have alerted me but didn't. Sunday puzzles are done with more distractions, unfortunately.
Thanks, Fred. Your puzzle career is impressive. Thanks, CC, for the puzzle review and update on Boomer. Hope he improves soon.
FLN Welcome to the blog, flowerpower, and other new commentators.
Rain is coming our way this week so am enjoying the sun shining on our bird feeding station now. Enjoy your day!
Lizlee,
Thanks!
That does make sense!
(Wait a sec)
There was a movie about Richard Nixon's life?
Other puzzlements induced by today's puzzle:
M.D. on wheel of fortune= spin doctor?
Fast-working "Downton Abbey" woman?: MINUTE MAID. not in my experience....
Painter in prison?: CON ARTIST. I'm still confused by this one...
Cont...
Puzzling thoughts two:
FIR with a few write overs
C.C. —> please give my best to Boomer. Praying for him to catch a break from all that he AND you have been through.
MM —> glad you liked the puzzle. Spoiler alert: As you probably realized by solving it, I managed to sneak “MOE” in there!! 😂😂 Let’s hope, Joseph, that Rich accepts our collaboration soon
Waseely,
Sorry I missed your entry,
I was deep in linkage hunting...
But that does explain my obliviousness.
I would never see a Nixon movie,
and there is no way in hell I would pay to see a Nixon "Opera.."
CIA operative in the Arctic?: NORTHERN SPY.
Sorry for this one, but the Google penguins were not cooperating...
One rating singles bar come-ons?: LINE JUDGE. I am taking notes...
Cont...
Gofer at a ballpark?: SPORTS PAGE. some days Google is no help at all...
Displayer of truck-stop equipment?: SCALE MODEL. what do you mean?
Bank worker with lots of stories?: TALE-TELLER. the signs tell the tale...
Farmland tour giver?: FIELD GUIDE. everyth8ng you need to know...
A fun puzzle. I never heard of "Monsieur Hulot" so that was a total WAG. And, although I enjoy watching football, as well as other sports to some extent, my knowledge of most athletes' names is abysmal, so "Luis" was a WAG too. Fortunately, I spelled Roger Daltrey's and
Maya Angelou's names right. FIR, so I'm satisfied.
By the way, this is the first Sunday in a month I've been able to participate in the Crossword Corner. I finally got my smartphone back and it's wonderful!
Hola!
Fred Piscop's puzzles are always fun and intriguing! Thank you, C.C., for your interpretation and news about Boomer. My prayers for his continued progress will continue.
This definitely took more than a MINUTE but filled nicely until I had to leave for Church then picked up again afterwards. Like others, HULOT, is new to me.
ORAN, however, is familiar. At the opening of the movie, Casablanca, the announcer loudly points out ORAN on the map as the destination of choice for those fleeing the invading Germans in Paris. I love that movie!
CARTAGENA in Africa surprised me, too, as I know only the one in South America.
More later. Owen, your verses are funny!
Lemonade714, I'm not sure why you call roistered a Shakespeare word. If you check a Shakespeare lexicon, you will see that he never used the word.
Superb Sunday. Thanks for the fun, Fred and C.C.
I finished and saw the Job theme, but required one Google help. Looking up TERESA broke open that mid-west coastal area. ( and gave me the T in DALTREY).
The cross of 68D and 85A was almost a Natick, but I WAGged the V.
Jaw changed to GAB, ROM to ALT.
I noted many duos (and different from IM’s)- BASS and ALTI, REST and REPOSE, WAFT and ODOR, LAB and CELLS, IRE and RANTED, RIP and SIP, CAW and CRAW.
If I could get some NORTHERN SPY and SNOW apples, I could make a FLAN.
When I saw SENATORS and then WISE two rows underneath, I LOLed, thinking of CMoe’s unPC re blog rules comment on the other day. Please don’t DRUM this Canadian out of the group; it is the same on this side of the border.
Best wishes to Boomer and C.C. for a better week ahead.
Wishing you all a great day.
Oran was important in the life of Albert Camus and other exiles from France.
I'm back.
As I was saying . . .
Many years ago I read Maya ANGELOU's autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. It's sad and at the same time hopeful.
Canadian Eh, why would you need apples for FLAN? Do you have a different recipe? I've made it often but never with apples.
ROISTER is not a word I use either and looking it up I found that it means 1. to act in a swaggering, boisterous or uproarious manner 2. to revel noisily or without restraint. (Random House College Dictionary)
Not enamored with ores being clued as smelter metals. What next? Grains clued as gristmill flours?
Anyway, in the first Major League baseball game I ever attended Luis Aparicio hit one of his 83 ML home runs. It landed in the second deck of the left field stands in old Tiger Stadium. Quite a poke for someone not known for power.
Best regards to you and Boomer.
Didn't take long to spot my FIW: I had CRInK/CRICK completely missing ALICE clue
DALTREY was vaguely familiar with 6 perps and one WAG(T)
My mother's fav pie apple was NORTHERN SPY
Lots of clever clues.
WC
Delightful Sunday puzzle--many thanks, Fred. And thanks for your helpful commentary, C.C., and also your update on Boomer. Hope he has a better week coming up.
I'm pretty poor when it comes to music cues, but I got ETTA JAMES, Marvin GAYE, the Beatle's song, and ELGAR. Not impressive, I know, but felt good to me.
My favorite clue, though, came when the "Painter in prison" turned out to be a CON ARTIST.
Another clue that made me laugh was having the "Happy cap tosser" turn out to be a GRAD. Those graduating students sure love tossing their caps in the air after the graduation ceremony.
Finally, the clue that drove me crazy was "Trip up." Even after I got ASCENT, I kept trying to picture someone tripping over something and getting up, but surely that's not ascending? Oh, voyage up in a plane or up into space. Now I get it!
Have a good week coming up, everybody.
I enjoyed finding the occupations and all the misdirections. I always have trouble distinguishing Ariel, Disney's mermaid, and Arial, the font. One bad cell.
There are dozens of printed examples of the use of ROISTETRED, current and in past works. We seldom hear it in speech, but I often see it in writing.
"Meanwhile, Queen Victoria’s son, the future Edward VII, devoted his energies to gambling, overeating, pursuing women and roistering with unsavory companions." Washington Post May 4, 2021 Not much different today.
Boomer, sorry you are feeling so weak. I am praying for healing for you. Here' a gold star for CC, the best nurse.
One is always cautious about criticizing puzzles as it could indicate a lack...somewhere. Didn't get on the right wavelength, and when I thought I did, a proper noun as a perp. Frustrating, although who cares because tomorrow is Monday and I got wordle AND byrdle! LOL
I did Chairman Moe's puzzle in the Boston Herald today. Great puzzle with lots of interesting fill (favorite was "Linguistic term for a misleading cognate": FALSE FRIEND). I wasn't real enamored with the Boston Herald's website, but that's a different story.
Ken at 3:03 (an intended palindrome?) I am touched that you pay close attention to my posts. Thank you. I am not an entirely literal person and was not saying the Shakespeare used the word but that (1) the word describes the behavior of some on his most endearing characters; and, (2) the word comes from the later 1500s like the works of Will S. ETYMOLOGY . I appreciate the added discussion of the word
Sunday Lurk say...
{A, B+}
C.C. - thanks for the update on Bommer. Sorry to read it's taking more of a toll on him this time.
CED - thanks for extending the Sunday comics :-)
Roger Daltrey (vocals), Pete Townshend (guitar), John Entwistle (bass), and Keith 'Loon the' Moon (drums) made up The Who who were the 3rd most popular (behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones) band of The British Invasion.
I could link some music from The Who but those, who found the above a 'learning moment,' probably won't like it. :-)
Cheers, -T
Lucina - your question made me LIU and I have discovered that my Canadian idea of FLAN is not what Google describes. No wonder I thought that the "caramel-topped" part of the clue did not entirely make sense. What I see pictured is a caramel custard!
Our flan is actually more like a fruit tart (but the outside part can also be a sponge cake). There are many different variations, among which is an apple flan that is caramelized on top. It sort of fits the clue! Delicious.
Live and learn. Another difference across the border.
Maybe some other Canadians like lfromAlberta will chime in. Is this just an Upper Canadian thing??
FruitFlan
CaramelizedAppleFlan
In our stores roma tomaroes look like this:
Roma tomatoes
Nice Sunday puzzle.
Don’t quite understand the reason for having 100A clue - Cell feature, and 100D answer - CELLS.
CanadianEh:
Thank you for educating me about different kinds of FLAN! Live and learn! I'm familiar with the fruit tart but had never heard it called a FLAN. Those are beautiful, BTW.
Very late to post because Sunday night TV on PBS is so good. However, I'm sad to see the ending of Around the World in 80 Days as well as All Creatures Great and Small. They were both wonderful as long as they lasted.
Also, I've been having trouble with my computer. Time to call Century Link tomorrow
Sending thoughts and prayers to Boomer. Keep fighting. GC
