Also, 10d was a new word for me - always good to get an education - 3/4 for me. smaugnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-18137188031121013942015-10-18T11:57:13.097-04:002015-10-18T11:57:13.097-04:00I'm sure I was influenced by knowing both a Do...I'm sure I was influenced by knowing both a Dotty and a Dot!Carolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971759975067250908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-84550463864118551122015-10-18T09:43:14.794-04:002015-10-18T09:43:14.794-04:00Re: 15a

For some reason, it just didn't occur to me that this could be a woman's name.

Like Henry, I especially liked 13A - I laughed when I got it, having despaired at being supposed to know some arcane Canadian sport. I also thought the anagram in 1D was particularly nice.<br />Falcon, about the surface meaning of 15A - I took "Dotty" to be a nickname for Dorothy (as well as the "crazy" cryptic meaning).Carolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971759975067250908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-14719136309160556442015-10-17T14:36:46.408-04:002015-10-17T14:36:46.408-04:00Hi MG and Falcon and everyone-

I didn't want to believe 21d could be so simple - I suspected some treachery, but no - it was. Once I conceded on that, the last couple of words went in right away.<br />2/3 for me.
