***GEEKY CROSSWORD CONSTRUCTING CONTENT TO FOLLOW***
The original form of this grid was a bit different than the one you see here. Originally, it wasn’t two 10s stacked with a 15; the two black squares that now divide 14-Down from 25-Down and 6-Down from 26-Down had been stacked below the black square between 1-Across and 6-Across. With the original arrangement, I found that I didn’t have as much room for sparkly longer entries, so I changed it. It would have had the same mean word length, but the word length distribution would have been more even; there weren’t as many longer entries. (I never considered taking out the black square between 1- and 6-Across, though.)

My favorite thing that I learned from this puzzle was in 44-Down… nothing should surprise me about that man at this point, though.
As always, I’d like to know, folks… comment is welcome! Come say hello! What did you like? What could I do better?
As always, share this link! Pass it around! New puzzle on Friday!

Really liked this one. Initially impossible, but slowly opened up. Crosses were very fair – learned some new things and found many “obvious” answers after practically giving up.
I was sure that 44D was THORPE. Congrats to anyone that dropped that one in without crosses.
