Happy Little Puzzles

Wrangling this 66-worder's four intersecting long entries was a nice challenge, and I'm really happy with how the large corners turned out.

I strongly recommend yesterday's New York Times PuzzleMania if you can get your hands on a copy. If not, some little puzzles to the rescue!

Beyond thrilled to share Brooke's work as my first full-size guest offering on this site. She's an all-around brilliant puzzle mind.

Sid's puzzles are among my very favorite puzzles. These are no exception!

I've wanted to seed a themeless with 28-Across for a while — the name-nickname combo is too fun to pass up!
