Probably difficult, but not quite as difficult as the last one (I hope).

Good luck!

Very difficult but well-clued and fun. 1A and 26D were the last to drop for me.

Got some on my first run-through. I have to put it down for awhile. @Hector is amazing as usual!

I've filled in the grid. Whew! I still have to review a few to understand the parsing (e.g., 13a, 7d). As with Hector, 1a and 26d last in.

Down to the last four (1A among them) before finishing. Not liking what I have for crossings, but think they are correct.

Edit: Two left. The challenging 1A as well as 4D which I half parse. But without the confirmation from 1A, wondering if I am half-wrong instead of half-right with my potential entry.

Edit: was half-wrong. Fixed that mistake and grid done with 1A the last to fall.
