If those immortal opening notes, dum, dum, dum, duuuuuuum, don't get your heart racing, then the ANTIDOTE is to sit down and listen to those notes in situ, specifically in BEETHOVENSFIFTH. Today's crossword is an homage to LUDWIG, that most revered of composers. Jean got through the crossword with little difficulty, while Mike was stuck in IDLE for the longest time until he realized that 1A, Needing some kneading, say, was ACHY, rather than SORE.
There were a few famous folks in today's crossword -- America FERRERA, star of Ugly Betty; LOKI, the trickster from ASGARD, and Marlee MATLIN.
Finally, in honor of the holidays, Jean & Mike are giving away a fabulous (and very apropos) prize ... listen to this episode for all the details.
