Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

We have a delightful 72-themeless today from Carina da Rosa -- her first for AVCX+. It's titled "I Like It When You Show a Bit of Scale, Baby" and, regarding its difficulty, Carina says, "If you passed this puzzle a note that said 'Do you want to be friends? [ ] Yes [ ] No', it might respond 'Oh em gee, of course! Let's hold hands and sing Rent tunes at the top of our lungs.' She's a nice girl."

Carina is a writer/editor from Toronto who's deciding what else she wants to be when she grows up. So far, the list has included theatre clown, knitwear designer, travel blogger, EFL teacher in Italy, and playing a chord (or two, at a push) on her accordion. And she once looked into playing a princess on a Disney cruise, but the only option was Snow White. Meh.

Enjoy,

the AVCX+ crew
