    Really fun puzzle with lots of unusual (and appreciated!) fill. Clean, only six 3s, open corners - lots to like!

    I really enjoyed this! loved seeing 3D, 16D, 41A in particular, and 15A gave me a hit of a particularly minty-smelling nostalgia (iykyk). also really liked the clue for 52A, didn't twig to it until my second look! I had the most trouble in the NE after the rest flowed pretty smoothly (you wouldn't believe how many things I auditioned to be the end of 21A), but/and/so I feel I appreciated the puzzle all the more for having been made to think harder ^^ oh, also, I wasn't familiar with 20D but was able to guess it once a few crosses were in, super fun entry.

I tried my own spin on it and... they're hard to make! My main conclusion is: hats off to Caleb! But I hope you appreciate my attempt. PDF Puz Fullscreen

So, here's a last-minute technically-March-somewhere puzzle for your patience! 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
