For me, 3d was apt, describing my reaction when I saw that the verb "act" in the clue had to switch to a noun in the answer. For some reason I particularly like those kind of fake-outs. Last in for me were 1d (I'd been reading "put" as past tense and wanted an "-ed" ending), followed by the crossing 12a. <br />@Peter, I actually got a kick out of that one (12a), when the light went on about what meaning of "belt" we were talking about. Made me think of Ethel Merman.Carolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971759975067250908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-90744447890168697092016-06-18T12:29:05.142-04:002016-06-18T12:29:05.142-04:00Happy beautiful Father's Day weekend to all!

But I thought 12a was kind of weak. The brownie makes another appearance too. Falcon: I hope your computer ills are solved. Thanks to C & R.
