Back from traveling!

Whew--I just got back from a long day of touring Daly City and San Francisco and have arrived at my hotel. I pull out an old New York Times puzzle and try to solve it. Like many other puzzles by Kevin Der, it is rebus-filled and extremely difficult. Also, the grid has irregular dimensions because it's supposed to look like a bowling alley. I finish solving it and consider making a themeless puzzle with "Daly City" as one across. I really like the letter combination (two y's!). Well, I'm going to bed now--I have a long flight ahead of me tomorrow (of course after I eat the delicious homemade cinnamon rolls that Holiday Inn Express provides).
