This is Peter Gordon's 129th NYTimes crossword, and a perfect example of why the NYTimes keeps publishing his work. The theme is brilliant, the clues sharp and, pardon the pun, upbeat -- quite a lot to like. We have the deets inside, just waiting for you to download all that goodness.

Our Triplet Tuesday Contest is going strong, so if you haven't participated yet, listen to Tuesday's podcast and then submit your entry, for a chance to win bragging rights and some fabulous swag.

As promised, here is a video that features both the Whip and NAENAE 

Show note imagery: SNORRI Sturluson, an expert on Norse mythology, and possibly not the cheeriest Icelander of all time.
