Saturday, January 6, 2024 - Today's "Can you work it into casual conversation?" challenge: BOKEH!
Description
After Friday's grueling workout, today's crossword, even though it was a Saturday, seemed relatively straightforward. We are not complaining, though, because the clues were entertaining, the answers educational, and the overall effect soothing. A few examples of the constructors' craft: 55A, They change colors, DYERS; 33D, Where pizza is said to have been invented, NAPLES (what, not Chicago?? 😀); and 44A, A symptom of "man's failure as a thinking animal", according to John Steinbeck, WAR (profound, and befitting a Nobel Prize winner).
Besides the crossword, it's also JAMCOTWA (Jean And Mike Crossword Of The Week Award) time, so have a listen to see if your favorite was our favorite!
