Scattered Notes? Rock!

• I believe that the Bar exam should require that a prospective attorney understand the difference between tortious and tortuous. I mean, come on! Twice in two days?
  
• I did finish the cryptic I was working on, now I need to figure out how to format it before the contest tomorrow.
  
• Speaking of the contest, I should probably get in a little bit more training, just in case.
  
• I'm having a barbecue on Monday. If I didn't send you an email it's because you're not in my city or I didn't have your email address in my book when I looked. If you want to come, let me know.

FriNYTX: 100 minutes. I think I forgot to turn off the timer when I finished.

I'm assuming this contest is Y!PP Cryptic-Fest. Is Akebia anyone we know? And (unless she's you, which really doesn't seem to be the case), why do you need to construct more than just a single clue?

Interesting that your various points are numbered on the NPL Friends page, but bulleted on every other page.

I have asked her if she was in the NPL or if she worked with the NYT Cru Cryptic forum, but she hasn't answered. I've been solving Cru Cryptics for practice, since I normally solve cryptics more relaxedly.

As for why more than one clue, I got an Idea when I first heard about the contest, and I wanted to see if I could get it complete it by the time the contest came around. It looks like I'm pretty much done, though I don't have any play-test time.

And the items appear on all pages; at least, they do now. You must have originally seen the post during the short period of time between when I first posted and when I updated to fix the HTML.
