Didn’t play to my strengths, so some Google was required, but I like the meta nonetheless. Submitted.

Beamed, 38. For once, I was actually at home at noon on Friday. But it slows you down when you aren't familiar with most and have to Google them, and the one or two you may have remembered, you remember incorrectly.

Okay. I'm calling that a true week 2! Pretty sure I've got it.

But tough as #@!$ grid, I must say. One of the hardest I've ever seen. Still haven't finished it.

EDIT: Beamed at 66. Anyone want to PM me how to do the lower left corner of the grid. In essence 47,48,49 and 50D. I really don't have those at all.

you're on the list, so you got it

yeah, that grid was a bit rough in places, I think he knows that

but the metanism, I'm always amazed how he pulls these things together.
