We heard it all before because we're paying attention. But perhaps you didn't.
But perhaps you did.
In that case then here's the crossword I did while he was yakking and she was interrupting.
It's NYT Monday July 2006 by Randall Hartman. Monday means that it's easy.
It doesn't have a title so we don't have that as a clue.
The thematic questions are all two names of actors, and ew I hate Hollywood clues. Just hate 'em. Their answers all lend themselves to cute-sy contrived phrases based on real phrases:
BonneyLadd
LeakeyFawcett
WildeOates
CarrLott
LoweGere
It's another of the type puzzle where you can just fill in all the theme entries and win. Everything else is just mortar.
But Trump was really yakking away so what the heck, fill it in.
Care to hear something even more s-t-e-e-e-w pud?
I'm expecting a call from a specialist so I'm keeping my phone near me.
But my schedule is also upside down again and I was busy yesterday doing gardening for hours and boy are my muscles sore. I sat on the sofa and fell asleep.
The phone rang. I must get this. The phone is near I can hear it muffled, it's under something, I'm lifting things all around me, blanket, pillow, papers, but I cannot find it. The ringing stops. I keep looking. I need to check messages.
Knock at the door.
I get up and feel the weight of the phone in my pocket.
Now, that's just f'k'n stew-pud.
It was the Amazon guy who called. He penetrated our impenetrable fortress without my help and left a package at the door because I take so long to get up and walk thirty feet. He was already back at the elevator when I got to the front door.
"THANK YOU." I yell because I don't care.
"Have a nice day."
(He left a little phone charger)
