A SMALL ANNOUNCEMENT
This puzzle is a bit smaller than normal, but it has some big news. Next week's crossword will be my last puzzle of the year.
The puzzles from Nov. 5 through Dec. 31 will be written by special guest constructors. Today's crossword explains why.

PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!

I thought you were going to tell us pink or blue but you tricked us, Evan!
All the best, and we'll see you when the bags under your eyes aren't quite so baggy!?!

Hmm, I misread the intro as your last puzzle as WaPo editor. I thought you might be taking over for Will Shortz
