Another ingenious theme from Evan. I was on the path but inadvertently found a spoiler while doing an internet search that gave it away. Grid was much tougher than usual; I almost always can fill the grid without help, but not this week.

VERY clever theme - it took me a while to "get" it completely. Well done!

Great puzzle! -- even though I totally (hangs head in shame) missed the confirmation of the last bit.

Post-birthday, I hope you're feeling older, wiser, and much much better, Evan!

I'm still off schedule, the holidays take precedence.
Great puzzle. Tougher fill than usual, but with patience and perseverence I filled it without google.
I liked the theme - it was fitting that I finished the grid during a 129A near Jerusalem.
