Here’s a short post for a middle-length puzzle.

I’m kinda bummed that I can’t look at what I’d missed the other day, but that’s how it goes. I’ve left a bunch of words out in today’s puzzle, but I got to genius level without too much difficulty. I look forward to tomorrow so I can get back on the what-I-missed train.

In other news, the Lakers won tonight, and according to my SDR setup, there’s a lot going down near the Staples Center. Lots of fireworks throughout the city and very audible on the westside.

Today’s final score: 33 words for 139 points. Genius minimum 131.
