Answer:  RECORD KEEPING

(Shop-lifting record albums?!?!  Not too obvious!  LOL!  There were no new clue words today, but there were a couple of new jumbles.  We have definitely seen “durpo” and “cintee” before.  The answer letter layout was beautifully cryptic.  A nice long jumble.  The cartoon is very amusing.  I love the slacker and the punk.  I guess yesterday’s Jumble was more challenging than I originally thought.  Lots of queries!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“I’m happy that I have brought laughter because I have been shown by many the value of it in so many lives, in so many ways.”   —   Lucille Ball

(Lucy appealed to the kid in all of us.  Even today, despite being in black and white, kids get “I Love Lucy”.  Her comedy was so physically demonstrative that people who don’t speak English get her.  Such a rare combination of beauty and hilarity.  We are all a little richer for her having graced our lives.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
