CROSSWORD #662: Themeless Monday

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

PROGRAM: [Java]

So my girls have been slowly and methodically been doing some improvements around the house. No, not the condo. I'm talking about Tabitha's dollhouse. It's been pretty impressive. Old tube socks have become bath towels. A discarded makeup bag has been repurposed for a nice area rug. Really, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" has nothing on what Liz and Tabby have done to the place. Anyway, their latest piece de resistance has been, yeah, you guessed it, a crossword puzzle and pen for the Daddy. Here I am, presumably taking a break from solving to ... uh, watch some TV? Looks like Kathleen Sebelius is on some sort of talk show. The TV's brand new, too. Anyway, it's amazing work and I felt the need to share this moment of domestic bliss with you. Although I should say it's been years since I've had that much hair. Not everything's perfect.

Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
