Solved and submitted. Thirty degrees here this AM. Too cold for yard work. I might stay on the couch regardless.

Off of the couch and/or crammed deep between its cushions and into its springs. I have an "if a tree falls in the forest..." dilemma to post, post-deadline.

Excellent puzzle, Chris!

Feeling confident I am OTC, pending confirmation.

Feeling very confident, with a nudge to go back and look at the brick walls I had run into, (thanks mamaE). should be off the couch.

That's where I'm at. I'm going to keep staring at my notes until the next step falls out.

Wednesday spoiler day!

#1: Clues 18A and 28A are a hint to the meta (but don't figure into the solution).

#2: Look at the answer for 41A, for example. After considering Spoiler #1, does anything jump out at you?
