A few extra notes:
1) Thanks for the comments on Boomer's debut last Thursday. He was so happy to read your feedback.
2) We had a very busy week. The ortho nurse said that Boomer's wound was healing nicely. We'll have one more MRI scan on July 11th and meet with the surgeon for follow-up. Hopefully Boomer can take off the sling then.
The meeting with the radiation doctor also went smoothly. Boomer is scheduled to have 5 sessions of radiation starting on June 27th.
The meeting with the oncologist went great also. Boomer will start a new oral chemo called
Olparib after he completes his radiation. He'll also receive a bone
strengthener infusion on July 1. Hope the side effects are less than
Zometa infusion Boomer received a few years ago.
On the PT front, Boomer started the pendulum exercises last Thursday. Baby steps. He'll continue his regular PT next Monday and Thursday. We also hope to get a bone scan done next week somewhere near our home. The VA scanning place got flooded on Friday.
C.C.
FIWrong. Guessed the conjunction wrong between ED O'NEIlL and AlBA; and buD < LAD, which messed up bOHAN & MuHALO. LOHAN I didn't know, and MAHALO I didn't know how to spell.
ReplyDeleteI found the gimmick pleasantly amusing.
AHI vs. MAHI
Slept in this AM, not on purpose. Enjoyed Dr. Ed's puzzle. There were plenty of proper names, but they usually didn't cross, which was good. Did wonder who EDO NEILL could be. Tried RUNS before RBIS, but Wite-Out fixed that. Forgot to read the title, but managed to get the theme right out of the chute with DUCK SITTING. Earl GREY evoked the late, great Abejo. Thnx for the tour, C.C. (Sounds like you and Boomer have many event-filled weeks on your schedule. Hope it all goes well.)
ReplyDeleteMARKED -- Duluth (pronounced "dilute" by the natives) is very hilly and next to a large body of water -- Lake Superior. Somebody dubbed it the San Francisco of the North. Somebody else noted that person probably hadn't visited both cities. Supposedly it's the #1 location for folks who want to avoid climate disasters -- forest fires, tornadoes, hurricnes, floods, excessive heat, even earthquakes. Nina, how did Mark do in the race?
FIR. Threw down retar at 42 D, but quickly found retop thru perps. Nice theme and a sweet Sunday puzzle.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning:
ReplyDeleteI love Ed Sessa’s puzzles because of his playful themes, today being a perfect example. Even though it’s a simple, easy to suss theme, it was fun to figure out the juxtaposing phrases. My favorites were Riding Joy and Nothing Do. Nothing Do struck my funny bone. As usual with a Sunday grid, the proper names abounded and were my only unknowns: Ronee, Oates, Elsie, and Ike, as clued. Retop got the side eye but only in passing. Lots of fun pairings include Money/Pound, Conf/NBA, Elon/Tesla, Mahi/Ahi, Hot/Mot, Nik/Nick, Madre/Nino/Hacienda/Dia, Maholo/Lanai/Lei, Peity/Anoint/Missal, and Aspen/Alta. Too many CSOS to list.
Thanks, Dr. Ed, for an enjoyable and satisfying solve and thanks, CC, for your insider’s viewpoint and opinions. Thanks, also, for the update on Boomer. Hope all goes well in the coming weeks of tests and treatments.
Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads!
Have a great day.
I wonder why Mr. Nosy Josey Autocorrect didn’t catch my typo on Piety. 🙃
ReplyDeleteFIW. I knew TITvE looked wrong, but I was so sure that "not straight" would be CURvY that I was blind to the alternative. I finally learned Carly RAE Jepsen. Please don't clue her "Carly Rae ______." I am also excited that I remembered AMA in conjunction with Reddit!
ReplyDeleteCSO to moi at UGLY AS SIN.
Is KELVIN a unit of temperature? I thought that "degree" was the unit, and KELVIN was a modifier for degree. To what degree do you understand a thermometer?
ENE - To what degree do you understand a compass?
Golf holes are never "halved", they are tied. And there ain't nary such thing as a water hazard. The USGA apparently thought it was important to fix terms that were fine for more than 100 years. (The final round of the US Open is today - looks like it will be a barn-burner.)
Ed brought back nice memories with Key LARGO.
George and Tammy aren't the JET SET.
D-O, when the climate crisis finally comes to a climax you might want to be in Southern Ohio. Mark Twain said “When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because it's always 20 years behind the times.”
Thanks to Ed for the fun puzzle. And to CC for your always informative tour. I love that Boomer keeps such an optimistic attitude after all he's been through.
Pretty easy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteKILN-DRY is AFAIK not for seasoning firewood, but for quick-drying two-by-fours and other construction lumber.
I guess I'll accept that NCAA Divisions (I, II and III) are divided into conferences, but a conference is not a division. In fact, conferences themselves may have divisions.
Thank you Dr. Ed for a dab of Sunday BALM to soothe the pain from yesterday. I liked this puzzle and I liked the theme, which gave me three free gerund letters (ING) for each of the themers, and the "switcheroo" quickly became obvious and helped as well.
ReplyDeleteThe filling was EASY too, except for the NNW, but more about that later.
And thank you C.C. for another informative and well illustrated review. And thanks for the extended update on Boomer. It sounds like his care givers (you included) are determined to keep him with us for a long time. As always, he is in our prayers.
11A SOPA. DNK know Fideo, but I didn't need a Spanish lesson to know that SOPA = SOUP. Cwd's are the best "life long learning".
27A ISIS. Yesterday we had her hubby OSIRIS.
58A METAL. Just a warning, that as I could no longer avoid it, there will be Heavy METAL this week.
59. MISSAL. Since the pandemic we've been attending Masses at Baltimore's massive Cathedral, which is like a huge ECHO chamber. Without a MISSAL, it's impossible to understand the readings.
71A OATES. DNK this either but it perped just fine. Decided to YouTube them, and as they are slightly edgy, it took a while to find one that passed the Sunday morning breakfast test. This one is for all you SPORTS fans and just BARELY made it.
72A KARATS. I always get my gold and jewels Ks and E's mixed up, but eventually it perped.
76A MARKED. Today we MARKED the feast of Corpus Christi ("Body of Christ"). It was particularly festive because my 7 year old grandson received his first Holy Communion and was positively glowing at the end of the Mass. I thought he was going to levitate out of the Church!
93D ASKEW. I was really surprised that this wasn't clued "Rueben, former governor of Florida:".
5D RBIS. Favorite clue. This held me up for the longest time, as I didn't know MACY's first initial. I thought it had something to with tennis, but then I had a V8.
7D MOT and 109D WAG. Witty pairing.
18A TANGY. A CSO to our Corner historian.
53D BANGS. Teri DOs that.
I'm taking a CSO for Father's Day. My son is taking eight, and they'll all be visiting this afternoon, so I've gotta go take a nap to get ready for the shrimp dip, ham sandwiches, and little hot dogs in blankies (for the little ones).
Cheers,
Bill
Because the theme was simple and straightforward, it wasn't hard to suss the long answers. The rest of the puzzle gradually came together, including "kiln dry." I know what a kiln is, of course, but had never heard the expression " kiln dry." Anyway, FIR, so I'm happy.
ReplyDeleteMusings
ReplyDelete-At least obscure RONEE was not a common word clued with greater difficulty. OTOH, ELSIE, IKE and EVANS…
-The Adriatic Sea supplies the EAU that flows under Venice’s Ponte di Rialto
-In this REMAKE, Warren OATES played the title character
-TO NOW, 12 people have ALIT on the moon
-Chuck YEAGER was not impressed with the Mercury 7 because he said they would be guinea pigs and not pilots
-A serious nit for me too, Jinx – KELVIN is a temperature scale not a temperature unit. That is why DEGREE failed.
-Most know LOHAN because of reckless off-camera activities. There is no such thing as bad publicity
-On a 100F day, only two people were left in the clubhouse for my hole-in-one ROUND-buying
-Father’s Day greeting from my eldest daughter
As always, Dr. Ed has a fine puzzle without too many proper names. It took until DANCING BREAK for me to realize the theme only because I was thinking dancing BEAR and realized the extra letter. A fast solve today, only changing RETAR to RETOP and CORVY to CURLY.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Garfunkel & OATES, Bindi IRWIN, ELSIE Fisher, or IKE Barinholtz but the perps were solid fills. LAB ANIMAL was all perps; unknown to me. Only know of ED O'NEILL as Al Bundry many eons ago.
UGLY AS SIN & NERD- SPARE me but some people are into name calling and they like to insult people, don't they.
LANAI- Keith Ellison almost owns the entire island of Lanai, stores, hotels, and everything.
Jinx- as for golf, the announcers on NBC are forbidden to say BRITISH Open, only THE OPEN. Ditto for Wimbledon, only THE CHAMPIONSHIP. Total stupidity, IMHO.
waseeley- I didn't get to Saturday's puzzle until late last night. Filled the right side but the left was mostly white. Too many obscure clues. As for Food today, I"M THE COOK. Eight prime filets and three ribeyes, crawfish patties, and who knows what else other people bring.
Gary, as for LOHAN, about ten years ago she and some boyfriend were staying three doors down from our room at the W Hotel in NYC. The got into a fight and the police were called. We were at a friend's wedding and missed all the commotion.
Hi Y'all! Much appreciation for Ed's challenging, amusing and do-able puzzle. More fun than we've had in a while.
ReplyDeleteThank you C.C. for your great commentary and the up-date on Boomer. Both you and Boomer are very dear to us. He is so lucky to have your devoted care. Will continue to pray for you both.
Got the fun theme with FANCY PASSING which helped on all the others. I started filling ING whenever one of those letters appeared. Well, once it was wrong, but I just moved over.
Last to fill was the "R" in RBIS/RH MACY. No idea what the RBIS clue meant. That R was the only red-letter run of the day. DNK: RONEE, OATES, IKE, AMA, ELSIE as clued but they perped in okay.
Always like ED O'NEILL but never can remember his name or how to spell it.
My brother stopped by yesterday after attending a "Celebration of Life" for his HS girlfriend from our old home small town. He left there 68 yrs. ago and I've been gone 18 years. We spent two hours trying to remember people's names and how they were related to each other -- an old fogies' pastime for sure. Had some good laughs.
According to Saturday’s NYT Crossword, I am now a nerd. Clue 33 across “solving crosswords with a bunch of friends, say?
ReplyDeleteThe correct answer “NERDFEST” LOL
Happy Father’s Day to all you Dad Nerds
switch sides!
ReplyDeleteFIW, due to a Natick at the crossing of TITLE/OATES (unknown based on the clue)/CURLY
ReplyDeleteNow if 75-across had been clued: "Moe's brother Stooge", I'd have been able to choose either Shemp or CURLY. I kept CURVY in as the answer and never corrected it. I had TIMES as the Magazine in 61-down
CC, I noticed the same grid glitch as you did with regards to 25/44-across. I have a new puzzle under construction with a similar roadblock ... waiting to see if the proposed grid will be accepted. 5 entries into a 15x15 ...
Have a great Father's Day to those here who are Dads
FIR after an hour without red letters or LIU. Still fun, no long hang-ups. It seemed quite fair. My last fill was the L in curly when curvy and TITVE didn't compute. OOH! TITLE.
ReplyDeleteI liked the theme.
I almost always bought kiln dry (or dried) firewood. The national and state parks don't want us bringing natural firewood from home because it might cause bug infestation. The kiln heating kills the bugs and larvae. I was willing to keep kiln dried wood in my living room log basket. Not so, wood from outdoors.
Reuben, former governor of Alaska would have been way more obscure for me.
My mom always advised BEND OR BREAK. "My way or the highway" results in almost no legislating getting done. Politics is the art of the possible.
Boomer, you go, Pal. Proud of your grit.
Very enjoyable puzzle today. Just one hitch, I too kept curvy and couldn’t figure out Magazine name.
ReplyDeleteI’ve never had a fish taco with mahi, they’ve always been made with either cod or cat fish. I love fish tacos and no restaurant follows the same recipe so it’s always a surprise when I order one.
DO, many years ago I was told that Duluth was the #1 destination for people suffering from allergies.
CC you are a strong woman and Boomer a very lucky man. You two are an exemplary, courageous couple, and you manage to entertain us cornerites. As it is said in France, “chapeau”.
Yes, a fine Sunday puzzle, that I too FIR. My last fill was the R in RBIS and RH MACY. (Hi, PK and waseeley!) I also tried CURvY for a while but perps straightened that out after I segued through various magazine names, starting with Times. Generally I eased through the puzzle, finding the themers quite helpful. Thanks, Ed. I appreciate your puzzles
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear your news about Boomer's progress, C.C. It sounds like your schedule will continue to be busy and I hope things go smoothly. As others have said, you both have the best attitude! And we appreciate you both continuing to review puzzles for us, even at this time, adding much knowledge and humor to the answers you provide.
Happy Father's Day! See you all tomorrow, another holiday.
Yuman @ 11:51 AM Long live the daily NERDFEST!
ReplyDeleteThought I'd stop lurking and write a few, not A SLEW, of MOTs: When we spend part of the year in Tucson we spmetes EAT at the restaurant an HACIENDA Del Sol where thank you is "Gracias," not MAHALO. Probably the same in KEY LARGO, but I don't recall Bogie saying it . A last POINT about SHAVING, last night I NICKed myself with a new razor. It happens,...SAYSME!
ReplyDeleteOops. Sometimes EAT...
DeleteBTW, are ASKEW and BENDS a sneak attempts at a "grand slam" CLECHO with "not straight"...?
ReplyDeleteWhen a tree is cut down it has too high a water content for use. You can let the wood sit outside for many months to 'naturally dry', or you can put it in an oven to quickly 'kiln dry' it.
ReplyDeleteHola!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fathers' Day to all you dads! I hope you are being treated royally.
I can't decide which of the clever phrases is my favorite. They are all punny and amusing.
My sister's home in Charlotte is not too far from the ELAN campus.
This week our driveways were repaved and already there is a nasty gash in my carport. Grrr.
I love being greeted with a LEI when visiting Hawaii.
C.C. thank you for your guidance and for the latest news about Boomer.
MAHALO!
Super Sunday. Thanks for the fun, Ed and C.C. (Continued healing wishes and strength to you and Boomer).
ReplyDeleteI FIWed online, didn’t get the Tada, turned on red letters. Curvy needed to be changed to CURLY, Oakes to OATES ( I only know Simon and Garfunkel).
Irish Miss noted all my notables and more. . . . But I did smile at ASKEW crossing ASLEW, and PIETY just two rows below UGLY AS SIN.
I’m with waseeley in dealing with those KARATS.
I now have AMA in my CW brain bank. Hi Jinx! And I agree re degree.
ProfMeritus@2:22- nice catch re grand slam with ASKEW and BENDS.
Hand up for Retar before RETOP.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads.
Enjoy the day everyone.
I liked this puzzle. I usually like Ed Sessa's puzzles. The theme was fun.
ReplyDeleteI winced when I had to change DEGREE to KELVIN, for the reason already explained. AS IN became AS AN because of hacienda. AS YET changed to TO NOW.
My experience with fish tacos is the same as that of Tante Nique. in fact. I think a fish taco made with MAHI Mahi would not taste very good.
Interesting that MIEN is also the Romanized spelling of the Chinese word for face (面). I love that picture showing acts of filial PIETY.
Gotta run. More later maybe.
I have to conclude that nobody read my comment the day before yesterday about Larry Ellison owning almost all of the island of LANAI.
ReplyDeleteJaycee - I read it but hallucinated that you got his first name wrong, and didn't want to corrected in public. Not a big fan of Ellison.
DeleteEllison bought Lanai from Murdoch and the Dole Corporation. No Hawaiian ownership on that island. Sacred water source became part of the golf course. Shameful!
DeleteTemperature unit = Kelvin. I have read in many places "The kelvin, symbol K, is the SI base unit of temperature. "A single kelvin is referred to as a unit, rather than a degree, and is equal to a single degree on the Celsius scale." I have long known that Kelvin may be a scale, but please explain why it is not also a base unit of temperature.
ReplyDeleteReturning from taking Alan home just now, I spent 25 minutes driving just 4 miles. By the time I got to the site of the crash the wreck had been removed. During the long wait many
cars were speeding to the right of the white fog line. At least five patrol cars were set up to block and catch the perps. Schaden freude??
Late to the party today. Finished in 17:22.
ReplyDeleteHaven't done a Sunday puzzle in a long time.
Good luck and more good strength for Boomer.
Happy Father's Day to all those who celebrate it.
We just got back from our drive home- so did the puzzle late after unpacking the car.
ReplyDeleteMark did well at Grandma's Marathon - 4 hours 15 minutes - he was 26 out of 72 guys in his 65-69 age group - and yes CC he wore ASICS shoes. Perfect weather to run a marathon- 50s to low 60s. A few weeks ago it got to 80 in Duluth and he was worried it would be like that again - but it was a good experience and he enjoyed running with a group of 10 from our area that road- tripped up there.
Thanks CC and Ed!
Belated Happy Father's day to all who are dads or father figures for those who need them. (My husband's dad died when he was 7 and he has had many father figures in his life over the years that the Lord provided)
Happy Juneteenth!
YR, it seems to me that saying "it's 5 Kelvin outside" is like saying "a gallon of gas cost me 8 Canadian" in stead of "8 Canadian Dollars". Also, if it were a unit, wouldn't you have to use the plural "it's 5 Kelvins outside"?
ReplyDeleteJinx, yes, that is how you would term it. But 5 kelvins is impossibly low.-50 °F = 227.5 K Look it up. There are many examples on the internet.
ReplyDelete0 C = 32 F = 273.15 K
Better late etc...Jinx, And, "Dormie" I'd out for match play. 100 years? Longer than that. I agree. PC is killing everything
ReplyDeleteWaseeley , there's the rub. The catholic daily readings are available via Google but having a cellphone open at church is frowned upon I'm sure
Wow Gary, talk about a win-win. Congrats on the hole in one
I didn't know you could buy a fish taco. Right up my alley*
WC
* Sorry Boomer
I really liked this one, well done. Give 'em hell Boomer, you're an inspiration.
ReplyDelete
