I got my rivers all mixed up, so ended with an error where 53D "SEnD money" crossed the 64A AARn. There are both Arn and Tarn rivers in France, but I am not all that familiar with their spelling. And with my son pursuing a second degree, "Send Money!" sounds reasonable. <br /><br />I guess I will just have to laugh at my malapop; I had SeEDS following teams at 115D, until I looked hard at ARIe. (Malapop means you put the right word into the grid, but in the wrong place. I think it was coined by Andrea Carla Michaels over on Rex Parker's blog of the NYT puzzle.)CoffeeLvrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473192190412844538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626052240584383873.post-74720081227325954642011-08-28T11:58:19.091-07:002011-08-28T11:58:19.091-07:00Laughed out loud at Bowie Kuhn, thanks Doug!
