I did miss yall!!! In the time between the last AS crossword and now I actually got into the habit of solving the NYT crossword, and I am proud to report it’s made me much better at this :) I finished this one in 6:31! Loved loved loved the theme.
Yeah, I had never done crosswords before the A+ ones,.but ended up getting in Vox’s after the A+ ones stopped as a way to fill the newly created void. 🤷
