Thank you, Jul...Good Morning, the next day, folks. Thank you, Julian, for a good puzzle. Thank you, Jazz, for the review.<br /><br />I was so busy on Wednesday that I never started this puzzle until 10:30 at night. Too tired to finish so I went to bed. Finished this morning.<br /><br />Had a problem with AGELONG. Had ERELONG for a while. Fixed that.<br /><br />Got the theme unifier first, and then the theme answers came easily. Enjoyed that part of the puzzle.<br /><br />OYEZ was totally unknown. I got it with Perps, but had no idea until I read Lemonade's comments. I expect I will never be at the U S Supreme Court and hear that proclamation. However, I do expect we will see this again in a crossword, and pretty soon! You heard it hear first.<br /><br />See you on Friday.<br /><br />AbejoAbejohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318111258011554517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-91278881865112403732011-11-16T22:31:39.149-06:002011-11-16T22:31:39.149-06:00JazzB - Just got back to read the day's posts,...JazzB - Just got back to read the day's posts, loved the trombone quartet! In retrospect I wish I had studied the 'bone. It's just the swingingest, jazziest bit of brass out there.<br /><br />That said, to get a break from woodwinds I took up the string bass for our dance band. I like an instrument of that size, played while standing - you almost dance with the thing. Another advantage: all through rehearsal, a bass player can snack on M&M's from the big bag sitting on the piano!<br /><br />For those who have not played wind instruments: you can't munch chocolate candies and then blow into a horn, the chocolate in your spit would gum up the thing. Not a problem with a string instrument.Dudleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587399549104728305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-83704635695320414502011-11-16T22:22:51.463-06:002011-11-16T22:22:51.463-06:00Wow, JzB, Hitchcock may have been overweight, but ...Wow, JzB, Hitchcock may have been overweight, but to call him a SOW is just downright rude!<br /><br />SHOW him some respect!Alfienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-90857939234520695472011-11-16T22:18:38.970-06:002011-11-16T22:18:38.970-06:00I just checked in for the first time today, and at...I just checked in for the first time today, and at 11:15 PM it was weird to find tomorrow's puzzle answers pop up!

I did fill in all the theme answers, and most of the short words, so the puzzle wasn't a total give up today. The NW corner and the SE corner both gave me fits.<br /><br />I didn't know how to spell Senhora. The Portuguese wasn't in my memory bank! It is now. I also know that it is Acrophobia, not acriphobia. Learning moments for me today. I was totally misdirected on the tens clue. Thanks Jazz for great writeup.
