Clue/Question:  The dog who was very good at playing fetch was – – –

Answer:  ON THE BALL

(The lady’s cup of coffee kinda threw me for a little!  But, I really like the little doggy’s intensity.  Reminds me a little of this toy Yorkie I tried to catch last week.  That little bugger was as quick as any cat!  Maybe, if I tried to tackle him, but I probably would have crushed the little guy. 

No new clue words, and only two new jumbles.  We’ve seen both “hnoye” and “coslia” before.  The answer letter layout was another masterful jumble.  It did a great job of hiding the answer.  Cute dog!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world.”   —   Mary Shelley

(Clearly, this is a line from Frankenstein.  Was this Bud Abbott’s line, or Lou Costello’s?  Maybe it was the Wolfman’s, or Dracula’s.  Okay, so I’m just kidding.  But, so many of my cultural references do come from movies and television.  I’m not proud of it, but I’m not going to try to pull the wool over your eyes either.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
