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.

Heidi didn't intend her comment as a nudge, but it got me off the couch.

Well, after three progressive attempts, I think I'm OTC (I could still be sat back down . . .). Liked the construction! Good fun Peter.

I feel good, but not totally confident in my answer (I would have said 100% confident, but didn't want it construed as a spoiler). Confirmation pending... And confirmed! OTC!

Fun puzzle. The theme not being in my element, I enjoyed the thrill of discovery much, very much! (...and rolling off the couch now) :D

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.
