CROSSWORD #1182: Themeless Monday

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

Damn, this Friday is Lollapuzzoola. I'm heading off to New Yawk, as Lolla is the only puzzle tournament I compete in. I should put air quotes around that. "Compete." Okay, that looks a bit better. I have pretty much no shot at all of being a serious competitor, now that I've heard two super solvers (Joon Pahk and Erik Agard) are back in the mix. Good times. But yeah, it is good times. It's the other other big crossword tournament where I get to hang with that family. Anyway, enough of my babbling. The event isn't sold out yet, so get on it, will ya? If you can't, there's always the play at home version. Let's do this!

In the meantime, here's a 60 worder for you. Enjoy.

Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
