Welcome back.<br /><br />I bounced around this puzzle for quite a while. Finally got through it.<br /><br />I really enjoy puzzles with english answers. The foreign words are to make it easier for the constructor, I believe.<br /><br />I enjoyed the theme. The quip was a good one, and helped with the puzzle.<br /><br />I got AMPERE, eventually. I worked with electricity for 36 years and never recall AMPS being in some ACCOUNT. Oh well.<br /><br />Enjoyed 9D STOUT. I had STOOL first, but fixed it.<br /><br />Happy birthday, Dr. Dad! Wish you many more.<br /><br />See you all tomorrow.

Oh, I won't leave out the spicy ground beef and TONS of dripping cheese.

Based on scientific research, my guess is Argyle!<br /><br />Just spent an afternoon with my younger daughter, Carole, who lives in San Rafael and seldom has time to visit. Kids and husband are all away for the weekend so we had a lot of fun going through old pictures. I thought I might find an oldie of dodo but not in this batch! I'll keep looking though.<br /><br />Carole is the artist who painted my last avatar. She brought me a new one of a water lily from picture I had sent her of one from our lily pond!
