Minor thing - 31A should be 3-1-3 not 3,1,3

Doing the drill - stuck on a final entry (perhaps 2 if I have an error).
PM sent seeking clarification.
- and done with a bit of clarification.

I’m saving this for my flights across the U.S. today. I figure by the time I start on it, all the typos will be discovered and fixed. Yay!

Still haven't gotten 23A, but I had been working with the wrong 14D for a while.

Jay, if you managed to finish this one I think it's safe to say you are no longer a cryptic novice :)

Yeah. I had the wrong 14D, too. Finally figured out 23A and then got 14D. Still lacking 25 and29 A and 22 and 25D. Took me way too long to figure out 1A, then things started to flow. Totally stumped on that SW corner.

Never heard of "bucatini". Glad I didn't need to have the print version of the OED in order to look it up.

I’m missing 6a. I have the crossing letters, I believe. But …

Does this make me a moron?

Don’t answer that.

But feel free to PM me if you can help me finish this.

I think I've got it. I had the wrong 25D, so my 25A didn't make sense, but I've fixed it now. I'm pretty sure I groaned audibly at several answers.

Thanks, Hoover. You made me look back at what I had for 25D, which I didn't really like, but couldn't come up with anything else. Changed one letter and everything fit and allowed me to finish up with 25A and 22D.
