I’ve got a fairly easy one for you today. Not breaking any thematic ground here, but I hope you enjoy it.
We crossword constructors sometimes exchange ideas on social media, and I was having a hard time coming up with a clue I liked for 17-across. Credit goes to Katja Brinck for getting me headed in the right direction. You can thank her for not having some really dumb, boring, or indecipherable clue on that one.
Thanks for your comments, emails, donations, and just generally being awesome people. I’ll see you soon with another puzzle.
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.
