My job has started to consume more of my time, and I have to pick and choose my off-time activities. Unfortunately, the Corner will be one of those "casualties". Maybe, when I'm fully retired, I'll have more free time to spend on blogs. I didn't just want to disappear. But for now, I'll bid you all "adieu", and wish you well. <br /><br />My profile includes my email address; please feel free to drop me a note if you'd like to stay in touch, as checking my inbox is still one of the activities that "made the cut"!! ��<br /><br />CC, thanks for sharing this blog and community.

A little crunchy, but it is Friday. Enjoyed many of the clues/answers (once I got them).<br /><br />Especially TROY at 6D.<br /><br />Theme was great. Very clever. NW corner was really tough until I got a couple words.<br /><br />Liked TUBAS of course. Right in the middle too!<br /><br />I am writing this on my cell phone. Sent a short test message to make sure I could do it.<br /><br />Looks like the Chicago area bloggers are gathering on the 19th. Should be a great time.<br /><br />On my way to Pennsylvania for a family reunion.<br /><br />See you tomorrow if I can get the puzzle.
