I just spoke to my daughter Sharon, who grew up in Interlochen. She got very excited when I told her we were all going to stay in Frankfort. It’s her very favorite place and she loves it. There are cute restaurants, ice cream parlors, long, flat bike trails, the best beach in Michigan, a great hole-in-the-wall fish shop with awesome whitefish spread and smoked whitefish, famous sand dunes—you get the picture. It’s going to be great!

One part cognac, one part crème de cacao, 1 part cream, and 1 part Secretary of the Treasury

The springlike weather in Seattle have pushed the cherry blossoms on the UW campus to bloom early, and they are in full bloom and perfect.

Cool, Leo. And I echo Owen’s comment. How did it get to be a mirror image?

Do you mean I would actually have to construct the puzzle???

Good puzzle, as usual. 6A- good clue. How about including a timer?

Great puzzle! True confessions: I had to Google 1D for a clue. Then it all fell into place. 9A—good clue!

Great stuff, Owen. I only take issue with your definition of 4D.

I forgot to take a photo of the outside but it was a six room bed and breakfast in an old victorian mansion. Lovely and great breakfast! But still Morman...

Owen!! great clarinet! You sound much more comfortable now, especially those gorgeous low F’s.

Thanks for sharing, Owen, your lectures on color. Have you studied the phenomenon of difference tones, ? It is well established that these resultant tones are subjectively created in the inner ear, making our ears themselves practically the only naturally occurring objects that can create the harmonic series, which you describe in your early lecture. Members of all cultures have the same ear structure, yet these colors do not form the basis of non-western music. Why do you suppose that it was “Western” music that uniquely developed the major/minor scheme?
