Tougher than usual but, as usual, very satisfying.

Finally finished! One of the "boxes" I had never heard of!

The bottom right corner took awhile. I just love Patrick's creations!

Same here! I was expecting something completely different for that box entry. I googled it after back-solving to make sure it was a "thing" and to learn more about it. A good one to remember.

And as usual, a fabulous PB puzzle.

Yes, that one took much longer than usual. Had a hard time getting started and the bottom left answer I thought was somewhere else in a a 9-letter spot for a good bit. Good one Patrick!

Also felt this was a little tougher than usual, but I got it. As others have mentioned, one box answer was new to me. Another good PB puzzle.
