Free Association 51
As per usual, the picture above does have to do with an entry in the puzzle. In this case, I mostly wanted to say, “This is my dog. His name is Donut. You’re welcome. Your day will be better now. He does that.”
I hope you enjoy this Free Association puzzle. As I told you in a previous post, I’ve been submitting most of my themed puzzles and hope you get to see them all in the wild soon. Well, you will get to see one of them this weekend. I have the next Spyscape puzzle. If you’re not aware of this venue, you should be. Will Nediger edits the puzzle and it is consistently very good. I’m pretty pleased with the theme for the one I’ll have this weekend, so I hope you will check it out when it goes live sometime this Saturday.
Be well my friends, and I’ll see you back here soon.

I'm a husband, father, psychologist, musician, and crossword constructor living in Catonsville, MD. My puzzles have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times and its syndicates, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Andrews McMeel Universal Syndicate, the American Values Club Crossword, Spyscape Crossword, The Crosswords Club, and crossword apps such as the Redstone Crossword Puzzle App on iOS and Google Play. All of that means I've been published in every newspaper in the United States and many others around the world. Here at Grid Therapy, I can show a bit more of myself than the major publishers can allow. I hope you enjoy your time here on the crossword couch! I'd love to hear from you if you have comments or suggestions. If you're interested in having a custom crossword puzzle created for your event or organization, email me at drtrent (at) gmail.com.
I always look forward to your puzzles. This one was a gem, however I hoped 56 across would be “Hold my beer”
Good Puzzle – especially 33D!

I wish you would publish your wonderful puzzles — the ones you so generously share with us, thereby sacrificing your rights to other venues — in a book. Thanks, Trent. (And nice to meet you, Donut…keep those paws clean!)
Thank you Kelly! Maybe I will figure out how to do that one of these days. You can be my agent!
Another stellar puzzle. Thanks for continuing to crank them out and share them so generously.
One small quibble: isn’t fios dead? Only available in NJ (so those of us on the west coast just look befuddled), I thought I read that Verizon has killed it off. No?
Fios is alive and well, at least here at my house in Maryland! Fun fact: the initial test market for Fios was Keller, TX, and I lived there back then. I was blown away when I first got it. 2004 maybe? Don’t remember for sure.
