A leisurely solve provided by Frazier Simpson. This is a great beginners puzzle.

I like how Mike Shenk is calling on different constructors for the monthly variety cryptic. Keeps it fresh

Yes, who have we had so far? … Fraser Simpson, Steve Mossberg … Anyone else?

Patrick Berry last week. I predict Bob Stigger will make an appearance at some point. Easy puzzle this week.

I enjoyed it!

This one was a satisfying solve and didn't take a whole lot of time. I got the middle answer and top-to-bottom answer before completing the rest of the puzzle.

In case any constructors read this blog, I’m just going to reiterate my wish for straight cryptics — which are inherently twisted enough — rather than meta cryptics, which particularly in this case are nearly indecipherable.

Solved! But had to back into a few answers that I still don't get -- looking forward to the answer key tomorrow.
Still working on developing that cryptic mindset...

Here's how I decided to initiate Frasier Simpson.
