Hi! I decided to make a puzzle blog. I was going to put some kind of introduction here, to me, my puzzle-making journey, my philosophy of crossword construction, and so on, but...

I've been trying to name my themelesses to keep better track of them, and am glad I hit on a perfect title for this (admittedly lightly-themed) puzzle.  Extremely excited for the upcoming ACPT (I will probably bring printouts of this puzzle to share there as well): at my second ACPT, I can't wait to upgrade from "knowing people's online handles, but not recognizing their names or faces" to "knowing people's names but still forgetting their faces." I will also be at Crossword Con the day before--say hi! And I will also be in scenic Carthage, New York the day after ACPT to try to see the eclipse; the forecast is "partly sunny," and I am extending a standing invitation to anyone who wants to go on an impromp

Puzzle #46: "Meet in the Middle"

Sometimes, you have a theme idea that stubbornly refuses to yield enough entries for a full puzzle. So, here's a truncated puzzle, somewhere between a midi and a full-size--this theme is very goofy but it's the sort of thing I really enjoy. PDF Puz Fullscreen
