The flurry and bustle abating, I sat to work on my Sunday crossword puzzles – finally! I always begin with the Sudoku, then the Jumble, then the LA Times Crossword, then The NY Times Crossword. There is a rhythm to that process.
When I got to the LA Times, the first answer I entered was for “Trendy farewell.” Obviously, that is “ciao!” The next answer was for number four down, “Writer with a website.” That would be me, “blogger!” My mother can attest to these answers as we often compare notes on the puzzle. Coincidence?
And finally, the clue for nineteen across, “Hesse-based automaker.” That would be “Opel.” My sister and I drove an Opel Kadett as our first car in high school. That is pertinent as I sit in the Lufthansa lounge while you slumber, and I enjoy an alcohol-free Beck’s for breakfast. Perhaps slumber will be in my future on the next leg.
Ciao!
