Thank you Heidi. I thought I was all alone on the couch! I have a few ideas, but I must be looking at this the wrong way. Don't see anything google-worthy. Yet.

It took me 3 tries, but, I'm officially off the couch. Good grid and better meta. I liked it.

I finally got it, but Peter had to pull me inch by inch over the finish line. Great puzzle and great clues! Especially liked 1A.
