A sparkling seasonal offering. Happy New Year!

This puzzle took me a while. I had to put it aside and return to it repeatedly. It’s probably, objectively, none too easy, but I also had a lot on my mind. Great fun to go back over these finely crafted clues.

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel!

This was very engrossing and took me an enjoyably long while. Or two.

A very entertaining and somewhat educational exercise.

The usual bravura performance from Bob—what else can I say?

I can’t tell whether this (mostly) very fine puzzle is really much harder than it seemed at first or if my state of distraction on the eve of a suddenly necessary trip to Philadelphia was to blame for my delayed finish.

Lots of fun here. Wild parties (one that goes on for days) and topless drinking!

A very tasty assortment!

What struck me in particular about this (as ever) challenging and engaging puzzle were the bits of cleverly deceptive wordiness.
