In addition to the day's puzzle, you have access to hundreds (thousands?) of Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday puzzles.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for coming by and commenting ; )Linda Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816794362786044423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-60629747865444806422007-08-20T20:25:00.000-06:002007-08-20T20:25:00.000-06:00Love all the comments.

I eagerly await the Sat. paper and am glad to see the STUMPER is back (at least in my paper). I only take Thurs., Fri. and Sat. papers as the puzzles on the other days are way too easy. Love the challenging ones. Sometimes take 2-3 days to finish a puzzle.

I actually had "hello, hello," but took it out--since it did not work with "middle" age and weight. (Too close to home.) I finally googled and got Magellan from a match to your blog! Thanks. "Sea Passage" was not doing a thing for me there. It is weird that I got things like "J'accuse" but hung up on Stax. I guess we all have our little lacunae.

The 6th disc, called Red White and Blues, has Lulu appearing out of nowhere (I had no idea she was still out there) and improvising up a storm with the likes of Tom Jones, Van Morrison and Jeff Beck. It was jaw dropping and her voice is even more beautiful now. Worth it, though it's only a small part of the two hours. I'd seen it when it ran on PBS initially but after I got netflix I signed right up for it because I wanted to make sure I'd actually seen what I thought I'd seen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-56901751732257456382007-07-07T11:32:00.000-06:002007-07-07T11:32:00.000-06:00As for the ACPT reference you found when Googling ...As for the ACPT reference you found when Googling "Zolaesque": Watch "Wordplay" - there's a great moment involving the answer ZOLAESQUE.
