This is Kevin's G. Der's second NYT puzzle (Mar 14 answers.) In his debut nearly exactly a year ago, he was only Kevin Der. I realize Will and The Gang don't run their business with my convenience in mind but every time a constructor changes his name I have to hand-modify my data files. Try to settle on one, ok?
Lots of good clues today. "Choose not to pick" was a particularly clever clue for STRUM but the one that made me giggle was "Ready to receive visitors." Are you DECENT?
Looking into the crystal ball, I have a few mini-bios in the works, I'm going to look for constructors who have hit for the cycle, and I'm collecting some interesting data on rebus puzzles. Check back to this blog at least every half hour or so throughout your day.
