CROSSWORD #1142: Themeless Monday

THEMELESS MONDAY: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF] 
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]

Good Lord, is it the week of the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament already? Looks like it is. I'd say that that last year disappeared quickly, but then again, I barely remember Wednesday from last week, so it's entirely possible. But yeah, this is the big one. A handful of souls have a chance at the big bucks up for grabs, and the rest of us are there for the mingling and booze swigging. It's like my family reunion, only none of us have to ever have Thanksgiving dinner together, ever. Unless you invite me and my girls, then I'll think about going. But only if you ask nice. But I digress, it's the only crossword event of the year that goes by its initials. So if that's your cuppa, then get yo'self on down to Stamford and join the 48 hour party. And if you see me there, be sure to say "hey," it's always great to meet the solvers.

Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
