NYT 1:53 ... SUN 2:00 ... LAT 1:48 ... CS 1:50 ... JON 2:56 ... BEQ 2:44
Kevin Donovan's 76-worder in the NYT is pleasantly crunchy for a Monday. "Something in common" is perhaps my favorite type of early-week theme. Peter Gordon's theme in the Sun is generic, but of course the fill is fun. QUIZNOS crossing HOTDOG makes me hungry; SAPPHIC next to SHEILA E... no comment.
Particularly obvious theme in the LAT; after seeing two "[Name] the [Occupation]" entries I knew the puzzle's raison d'etre would be JOETHEPLUMBER. Excellent Jonesin', exploring various people who "do it" in one way or another.
My "Duh!" of the day was on the CrosSynergy puzzle. I had BA_H for "One of the 3 B's" and I quickly filled in BATH, thinking of Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
