Thank you, Trent, and congratulations to your daughter — especially if this is her first time! Nothing but admiration for her and anyone who can master 11 Down. Loved all the entries, as usual…11 Across sings as do the grid spanners. 6 Across: I can HEAR this! Your clues are predictably super. 32 cracks me up! 20 and 8 Down…winners. Again, thank you so much!
You’re so sweet Kelly. Your kind words are a lift. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Nice puzzle, as always. Got a bit hung up on 31, making the leap that she had changed to BLUE. But once I backed off and agreed that she had just DYED, everything worked. Thanks.
