Answer: LOADS OF FUN
(This reminded me of the first part of this year’s Grammy Awards. I kept saying: Who??? What??? Fortunately, they mixed in the tributes nicely, and I was able to recognize those songs! I guess it means I’m getting old. Hey! At least I do know who Ed Sheeran and the Alabama Shakes are! I also know who Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars are, but neither are really my style. And, I have heard of this Kendrick Lamar guy and The Weeknd, but I never heard their songs before. You readers are likely not too familiar with the acts that I listen to. Such as: Fitz & The Tantrums, Lost Leaders, David Gray, Snow Patrol and The Decemberists, but I have no problem being in the minority.
Jumble? Oh, yeah. There were no new clue words today, but three of the jumbles came up as new. Hoyt has used “toatot” before. It took me a few seconds to unravel “swidon”. The answer letter layout was a beautiful jumble. It hid the answer nicely. Luckily, we label laundry with the language of loads. And, Jeff’s cartoon indicated multiple loads. Oh! And, belated birthday greetings to Jeff Knurek. Yesterday he turned 50! “Oooh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out.”* Actually, he’s still just a pup. But, he’s coming along nicely. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
PS. * Thanks to George Carlin for those funny words. He used them to describe 30, but I think they apply just as well to 50! — YUR
PPS. Not sure if this was Jeff, or the editors, but apparently the first woman should be saying: Watch me, “Nae, Nae”. Someone changed it to “Nea, Nea”. Oops! — YUR
