Today's puzzle is by our esteemed editor Stanley Newman and it's called "Shopping Sites." Theme answers were cute puns:
20A: Educational Toy Shop for Patrons? (BABY BLOOMERS). OMG, I remember wearing baby bloomers over my cloth diapers. Once Pampers were invented, my mom never looked back. She started on them with my brother Mark.
38A: Where to buy a Maid Marion bouquet? (SHERWOOD FLORIST). I Googled "Sherwood Florist" and it's a very popular name for a flower shop.
54A: Wares at a "green" window store? (NATURAL GLASS). There are many types of natural glass, which are found in deserts. Here is Libyan desert glass, which has very pretty color. If you have the real thing, you can get as much as $500 for it.
I just finished a book of Irish-themed puzzles published by the company Pocket Posh. The book consisted of crosswords, word searches, codewords, and criss-cross puzzles. For many of the puzzles, I had to rearrange the shaded letters to for the final answer. Of course, having never been to Ireland, I had to look up a lot of these answers. I figured they would get me ready for ACPT on St. Patrick's Day.
It's a gloomy Friday here in NYC. Sorry to be short today, but it's back to the salt mines.
Till tomorrow. . . .
