We are back after a brief unexpected hiatus due to some logistical problems. And what a crossword to come back to! Jean persevered, Mike went, like 7A, "... and it flopped", PFFT, as his usually near-eidetic memory when it comes to mid-20th century naturalists failed him ... the name was ADAMSON, not ALAMSON.  For all the gory details, we highly recommend you download, and listen up.

In today's war between velar nasal and alveolar nasal, good ol' al was the victor, as many g's were sacrificed in the making of today's pun-riddled grid. Some of the clues were quite fresh:  19A, Preserve, as ashes, INURN, and 22D, Philosopher Zeno's birthplace, ELEA -- were definitely new to our dynamic duo, but those PUNS? Oh, YEAH!

Today's crossword is right down to business, and while the more pedantic might argue that it is, technically speaking, right across to business, we not only stand by our statement but maintain that it might be the germ of a future crossword theme. In the meantime, this crossword also had a theme, which you'll surely want to make your business: so download, listen up and, as usual, enjoy!
