I'm just as surprised as you that I wound up in the LA Crossword--but does this mean I've hit the big time? And if so, shouldn't I be having mimosas for breakfast every day? ;)LostNCovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273203849798258521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626052240584383873.post-57568220470430093662009-05-03T20:46:00.000-07:002009-05-03T20:46:00.000-07:00It was an ok puzzle, but it was odd that two of th...It was an ok puzzle, but it was odd that two of the LAT puzzles had sloop(s) and eerie(r). Maybe I'm just doing too many puzzles....<br />I never found the theme because there wasn't a title to it.

I'm saving that for tomorrow.machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794371617847975218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626052240584383873.post-54131423803985844842009-05-03T15:50:00.000-07:002009-05-03T15:50:00.000-07:00@Chorister: Nope,the show spelled it Bee.
