CROSSWORD #998: Monster's Call

MONSTERS' CALL: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF] 
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]

Tabitha is going trick or treating as a bumblebee again this year. That's three years in a row for those keeping count. On one hand, I'm surprised the costume still fits. Yes, it's the exact same costume three years running now. Credit where credit is due, though, she found things already in her wardrobe that work in concert with the old costume to make it "new." Color me impressed. Can we do this again next year? Watch this space and we'll find out.

I know what the follow up question's going to be, so let me answer it. If I'm not going as an Exhausted Dad, I can always throw on my deerstalker and be Exhausted Guy In A Deerstalker.

Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
