Hello! I usually try to post a puzzle every two weeks, but today I don't have a new one. I didn't have any ideas, and as it turns out I was too busy coming in second place at Lollapuzzoola this year (???!??!?!?!?!!?!??!?!!!!?!?!??!!?). So instead I'd like to point you to a recent collaboration I did with Dr. Rose Sloan ! It's a fun 21x that was rejected from certain coastal newspapers, but I still really like it. My favorite theme entry is 81-Across. Please enjoy!

Hello! I am pleased to tell you that we have moved to our new place in New York. Babka is seen here looking out our new window. So far he likes to look at the birds on the fire escape and the street sweepers. Paprika is hiding under the bed mostly but comes out for food. We're doing okay! So far I am having an issue where I do not know where things are yet. In order to help myself, I created this grid to remember where some of the streets are. However the theme here is barely noticeable so the whole thing is now another semi-themeless. Norah test solved it, I hope you enjoy it! [ .puz ][ Direct Crosshare link ]
