LAST WEEK’S RESULTS:

Technical difficulties this morning — got a new computer and didn’t transfer my bookmarks over, so was unable to access this site to write my post until just a few minutes ago. So I’m going to have to direct you to Joon Pahk’s writeup at Crossword Fiend for this week’s solution. Nobody panic! I’ve got it figured out now and we’ll resume normal writeups next week.

This week’s winner, whose name was chosen randomly from the 196 correct entries received, is John Ellis of San Diego, Calif. In addition to a MGWCC pen, pencil and notepad set, John will also receive a signed copy of my book Pocket Posh Easy Crosswords.

THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:

This week’s contest answer is a ten-letter term explaining this puzzle’s theme.
