As a note, I have written to Mike Miller to find out when the puzzle will come out.
I just heard back and they are working on it. Some key people at the WSJ are working from home and it fell through the cracks.
Sit back, have a Guinness or your favorite libation in the bar with Isaac. The tab is being covered by Princess Cruises.

“key people” - -LOCKSMITHS! … “working from home” – UMPIRE! … “fell through the cracks” – ALICEINWONDERLAND! Sorry, honing up on my meta skills while we’re waiting.

Well this is unusual... is the puzzle social-distancing itself?
Joe Ross offers an interesting observation/prediction: "I think that tomorrow's WSJ Crossword Contest will be late posting due to this past week's time change & a failure to adjust."
You can't believe a word that *THAT* guy posts...
