NYT 4:10 ... LAT 3:07 ... CS 2:16 ... ND 3:35 ... Rows Garden (p) 19:00

That reminds me that I haven't posted Aries Puzzles times in a while. The last two I did were #18 and #19, both in bed while slightly groggy, both on the hard side at 30 minutes-plus. Hope others are enjoying those weekly Rows Gardens, even if like me, you can't always keep up with them...

Thanks for another plug, Dan! I'm interested to see your time on Patrick's RG today...probably the toughest RG I've ever done.

Yeah, it wasn't too bad for me -- I knew HELLESPONT and CHINATOWN right off (and of course Williamsport), guessed C'EST LA VIE and ETON COLLEGE and it flowed from there. Never really got stuck, unlike some of yours... :)

i didn't know CHINATOWN, but HELLESPONT-MUSTARD SEED was a good start. always nice to get an entire row. then ETON COLLEGE, DEION SANDERS, GRAND LARCENY-C'EST LA VIE, and LITTLE LEAGUERS... that's actually a lot of gimmes. nevertheless, i was almost defeated by rows H-I-J, and i eventually had to guess at PAR__EREST and __NDLE, neither of which rang a bell. i did guess it right but the whole thing took me a lot longer than i was anticipating after the flying start.
