Possible Title: It’s All About Money!
Theme: names of coins no longer minted and which add up to a dollar
Good Ones:
What the {theme} come to CHANGEFORABUCK
Get a move on? RELOCATE
By the Way:
I enjoyed the wide variety of sources for what are rather challenging entries, e.g., Uranus’ orbit; Alice B. TOKLAS; ALVIN the chipmunk; Joan Sutherland ARIA; Tony LEMA; REGIS Philbin; Jerome KERN; etc.
Who knew?:
Gabrielle REECE is a volleyball star --- or that there were volleyball stars [only kidding; but the term ”star” gets me. Is someone known only among the cognoscenti a star, or does a star have to have a more “universal” cast, like a celestial sun? In other words, is a top curler also a star --- like Derek Jeter?]
Some Nits to Pick:
Bingo relative BEANO [they’re the same; I’d go with the pills]
Recess near an altar APSE [the alter is in the recess]
RATING: ;D ;D ;D Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
