Here is today's puzzle from Cox & Rathvon. I am currently on vacation so I may not have an opportunity to post a solution.

I invite you to leave a comment to let us know how you fared with the puzzle.

    Hi Falcon,
    Hope you are enjoying your trip - lots of history there. Seems like today's puzzle was pretty much a "write in". More time to bask in the great weather here...
    Cheers,
    MG

      Hope the great weather lasts until I get back. It has been cold in Europe and it now appears that it is going to get decidedly wetter.

    Thank you for keeping us in puzzles while you're on vacation. I found this one a romp compared to last week. Happy travels!

    Hello Falcon and everyone!

    Sounds like you have a full itinerary, Falcon. Maybe you can collect material for future puzzles?

    This week, indeed the offering from Cox and Rathvon was a breeze for anyone familiar with crossword-land. There was one word you might not be familiar with, and one little mis-direct, but otherwise a solid 30 minutes.

    Here is the solution for those wishing to check their answers.

    Across
    1 ASPS
    3 EARTHWORMS
    9 TWO-STEP
    11 RESIGNS
    12 STEER
    13 RAIMENT
    15 PINBALL
    16 HECTARE
    18 INSPECT (nice use of 'lead')
    21 ROASTER
    23 MUSCLES
    25 AWING
    27 RANGOON
    28 DELIGHT
    29 PARTRIDGE
    30 AMOS (not Bert!)

    Down
    1 ANTISEPTIC
    2 PROTEAN
    4 APPAREL
    5 TARNISH
    6 WASTE
    7 REGATTA
    8 SASH
    10 TERRACE
    14 SEGREGATES
    17 CHAGALL
    19 SEMINAR
    20 TALONED
    21 RESIDUE
    22 THINGUM (no room for -ajig)
    24 SCOUR
    26 TRAP

    Any bets on the new princess's name?
    Henry
