Good morning!

Got to genius with pangrams so far.  My husband knew nacelle as well! We had team QB, but he had to help me with that one and enlace for whatever reason.

I had climbers-shorten for LB after trying chromosome for too long.  Congrats on a different one, cathwen!

And enjoy your visit with your daughter! So cool that your grandson is in France.  I hope he's having a great time.

Happy solving!

Why would you assume that?

Good morning!

QB yesterday with SBB for helve and nacelle, although also I needed additional help from my husband for that one. Where do they learn these things? Today I have both pangrams and two words to go.

LB: I had chines-stromboli.

Happy puzzling!

Well, there's your problem:
QuotePanigraphy — who has been at BIDMC since 2013 and runs the Panigraphy Lab — is available for hire as part of the Expert Institute, a website which allows attorneys to find experts for their cases.

Hey, if you're gonna get paid to pretend to be an expert in court, you need to be able to produce bogus-but-professional sounding research reports quickly.

Acceptable progress on all three fronts.
