I have always held a fair amount of curiosity. While I was never smart enough to understand or retain the things I learned, I still liked learning. The big picture always held a certain allure. The reason something ticked interested me. I just enjoyed knowing the why.

Beware the cranky old broad
Here is my latest pondering: is it winter or old age that is making me cranky? I hope it’s the former but fear it’s the latter since I’m cranky year round these days.

The puzzle was fairly easy and I moved quickly until I got to 30 across. I needed a five letter word for “Tilted women.” Tilted women? I’ve heard of jilted women but not tilted. An image of a row of women with their right legs much shorter than their left legs causing them to lean to the right popped into my head. That would make a woman tilted alright but what’s a five letter word for it? I skipped it and moved on.
