Good morning everyone and happy Sunday!  I hope your day is going well so far.  First off I’d like to thank Gene and Geraldo for providing me with the puzzle this morning — their efforts are very much appreciated!  The puzzle had great word choices today, and ENROLL had me thinking for a minute. The cartoon was great and didn’t give anything away.  Not a difficult puzzle by any means, but fun nonetheless.  Have a great day and I’ll see you bright and early tomorrow morning. 😀
