Puzzle Notes

Dear Subscribers,

"Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably" ~Bertolt Brecht

Greetings to you all. I hope that this final Monday of January finds you well.

The opening quote from Brecht sums up my impression of what a crossword puzzle should be -- a mix of old and new wisdom.

In the world of quintets, there's: The Miles Davis Quintet, Schubert's "Trout" Quintet, Robert Altman's 1979 sci-fi film, "Quintet" and the Honda Quintet.

This week we mix things up via another quintet -- the themers in today's puzzle.

Welcome to Week 609 of Crossword Nation. We cordially invite you to solve "The Mixed-Up Quintet" as your new diversion.

Thank you for solving and have a great week!

Until next time, I remain . . .

Cruciverbally yours, 

Liz
