My time: 3:31, a new record by a full minute!
--
Alan Arbesfeld plays with phases of the MOON in this puzzle. There's NEW YEAR'S EVE, CRESCENT ROLL, QUARTERBACK, and FULL-TIME JOB. I like a simple "what do they have in common?" theme.
I've heard of the composer Thomas ARNE, of "Rule, Britannia" fame, but his isn't a name that springs readily to mind. Fun fact: he also wrote "A-Hunting We Will Go."
The Way We WERE is a 1973 movie starring Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford.
On November 1, 2017, we were reminded a saxophone has a REED. Today we have a clarinet as the example.
I've heard of SID CAESAR, but I don't think I would have been able to connect him with "Your Show of Shows." He starred in it alongside Imogene Coca.
This wasn't the toughest puzzle ever ("pumpkin color"? ORANGE), but I enjoyed it and I'm proud of my speed.
My New York Times puzzle times, by Chance. How I perform on the NYT crossword puzzle. I'm not a record holder by any means. But I'm pretty okay Monday-Thursday usually. I don't look anything up; all solved answers come from my head.
