Fun puzzle here today, fun puzzles at Lollapuzzoola tomorrow! If you like puzzles and have a free afternoon, consider signing up. It'll be a blast.
In other news ... tomorrow's my birthday! 23 was a big year for me on the crossword scene, and 24 is gonna be even better. Many, many thanks to all the folks who have given me feedback on themes and grids, challenged my thinking about inclusivity and representation, or otherwise helped me improve my craft over the past year. I'm lucky to have found this community, and I'm really looking forward to making more puzzles for you all to enjoy in this next trip around the sun.
As always, happy solving!
