“Age does not protect you from love.  But love, to some extent, protects you from age.”   —   Jeanne Moreau

(Both being loved, and loving someone and/or something.  It keeps you going, and keeps you young . . . at heart, anyway!  Jeanne was a hottie, in her time!  A very sultry French actress.  Be well, do good . . . and keep on loving, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  The cleaning crew at Grand Central was enjoying a . . .

Answer:  STATION BREAK

(Pretty good!  Not too tough, but I really liked the answer letter layout.  Almost all the consonants, then almost all the vowels, makes you have to think a little differently.  All the clue words were jumbled well, but I saw them all instantly.  I loved seeing “infamy”, for the very first time.  Surprisingly, “truck” is also new to the clue word database.  It’s hard to capture the grandeur of Grand Central Station in a tiny cartoon frame, but I did recognize it prior to reading the clue/question.  Our country used to have many gorgeous train stations, but due to urban renewal in the 1960s, most of them were torn down.  Such a pity.  Be well and do good, my friends.  And, in your quests to embrace the shiny future, don’t destroy your treasured pasts.)   —   YUR
