Edit:yay! just hit submit on this message to find the confirmation right there.

Off the couch with a Muggle nudge and now a standing ovation to Peter for this one. Excellent all around.
Now out to the garden, where these huge white plants always deserve a standing “O”

Peter was nice enough to point me towards this meta--especially since 68A is my kind of clue!

And I am off the couch--confirmed. Very clever clues!

Woulda, coulda, shoulda seen that last step. Nice Aha!. Got stuck on 219 because some google searches returned complaints from Sirius XM subscribers that their channel range ended at 219. Was that intentional on your part, Peter?

Also, very entertaining reveal!
Sorry all, have to admit Wildfire brings positive nostalgia for me.

Same here -- Instead I was trying to count out teeny tiny letters in the Channel lineup descriptions, because I thought that confirmed Bob's needing to get his eyes checked after solving! :shock: :lol:

Wow! And who else caught that "wildfire" easter egg from the "Hotlinks" puzzle a few weeks ago. I tip my proverbial hat!

These reveals are Sirius business.

Of course, I love the art of crafting music playlists to meet a mood. Mine at my tutoring place is wild and a hybrid of adult contemporary, pop, folk, rock, my beloved smooth jazz, and who knows what else. I got the idea several years back from Mood (formerly Muzak), whose What's Playing Now (which I've combed for inspiration often) can be found here.
Less cross words, more crosswords.
