Flat This Way.

At the puzzle chat on Monday, while Tahnan and I were helping each other finish off February, he mentioned that he had written an Acrostical Enigma which was also a pastiche of a song. Since these puzzles are often called AE's, I quipped that the pastiche was probably based on a song by AErosmith. It wasn't so he essentially challenged me to write one. So I did. It was fun. It's called "Swede Devotion". No more information will be available until publication.

I called T. when I got up, but got her voice mail again. I expect I'll probably get a call back some time this morning. (In fact, it occurs to me that I'll probably have a better chance trying to meet her for breakfast or lunch than for dinner. Well, breakfast or lunch for her, that is; it would still be dinner for me. No matter what we do, it's going to be dinner for somebody!) Calling the second time was much easier than making the first phone call. A good sign.

I also caught up with the easy Xword backlog. MonNYTX: 4. TueNYTX: 6:30. 43A is not something I'm not too familiar with. WedNYTX: 11. I don't understand the theme connection. Also, I had to look up the crossing of 30D and 38A. MonLATX: 4:30. TueLATX: 6. WedLATX: 6.
