This one was a bit tough or me, I figured out the hidden ones easily enough, but the rarer references and the homonyms took a while to figure out, but got them working out the odds and sods. I liked 22a. I didn't get to the puzzle until late today, but I'm glad I did.<br />HenryHenryhttp://henryjablonski.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-20760133155876239492016-12-24T15:37:52.287-05:002016-12-24T15:37:52.287-05:00Seasons Greetings to Falcon and fellow puzzlers!

The answer to 20d is obvious (I think) but I'm have trouble parsing all of it. Thanks to C & R and to Falcon for this site. Merry Christmas!<br /><br />PeterPeternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-27143781147873015562016-12-24T08:15:38.710-05:002016-12-24T08:15:38.710-05:00Busy day today so I gave this a go from the newspa...Busy day today so I gave this a go from the newspaper early this am. Typically great C&R puzzle. Couple of phrases 14a and 5d I had forgotten but filled in with across and down letters.<br /><br />Have a nice Christmas Falcon and other puzzlers.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569438118036578627noreply@blogger.com
