This week's WSJ contest is titled "MIXED TOGETHER" by Mike Shenk

The answer to this week's contest crossword is a five-letter word.

Good luck with the grid and the meta.




And I have to post this. 55 years ago today (Friday) was one of the greatest of con jobs in history. I convinced a wonderful classy lady to marry me. (she is also an outstanding cook which is why the picture is a few pounds lighter than now)

So will I, since I'm joining you on the shore! Coffee and milk, likely!

On Naboo. Landed with mouth wide open, gleam in my eyes, immediately wondering who has such flash of genius! ;)

First page?! Oh, I can hope.

I'll have a gin and tonic so that I don't lose my spot wasting time thinking of a clever drink.

On the beach after rough surf delayed my swim to shore.

I’m not quite as old as our cruise director. 43 years today (Thursday) for me and my wonderful wife.
