Today's puzzle by Billie Truitt is called "Zippy." Here are the theme answers, which are not the most exciting. It was hard to find cute commentary and videos.
20A: Great beginning (FLYING START). British Airways and Comic Relief have teamed up to form a charity called Flying Start. The goal of the charity is to help disadvantaged children from the U.K. and around the world. Money goes to educate children and to give them a break from caring for sick family members. Dollars can also help people buy the tools they need to make money, and to provide meals to the world's poorest children.
41A: Package shipping option (EXPRESS DELIVERY). FedEx. DHL. UPS. Express Mail. These are all the options we have for quick shipping. It's expensive but convenient. Sit back and enjoy an old FedEx commercial from the early 80s (When it absolutely has to get there overnight!):
58A: Defendant's constitutional guarantee (SPEEDY TRIAL). Time for a cartoon:
Last night's "Mad Men" was a trip. Literally. Roger and Jane took LSD and ended their marriage. Don and Megan took a trip to HoJo's. Don left Megan in the parking lot after an argument. Peggy had a rough day, went to a movie, smoked pot, and hooked up with a random stranger in cool pants. This season has been so bizarre already; the best is yet to come!
It's getting late and I'm beginning to nod off. I hope the weather gets better.
Till tomorrow. . . ..
