Jess: Themeless puzzles are my favorite to make, because you can fill them with fun words and interesting clues. I enjoy many of the longer answers in this puzzle (usually the stars of themeless grids), but I’m most excited about some of my shorter answers’ clues. Being able to include lifeguard and surfing legend EDDIE Aikau in the puzzle is one example! If you’re ever on Oahu and are lucky enough to be there when the waves in Waimea Bay reach over 40ft tall, there will be a big wave surf competition called The Eddie named after him (only 10 have been held since 1984). Make sure you go — epic!  I’m also pleased with the clue for SEX in this puzzle. And of course, with the announcement about Tim Walz (my assistant basketball coach in 10th grade – he didn’t just coach football), OPE feels especially timely! Thanks for solving; hope you enjoyed it!
Milo says hi!!
DON’T MOVE A MUSCLE! (Freestyle): There’s no theme today, as this is a freestyle, or themeless, puzzle. The title is a nod to TELEKINESIS (23D: Ability to move objects with the mind).
I enjoyed the multiple animal references in today’s puzzle, particularly the several cat references, of course. I also appreciated learning about EDDIE Aikau. Thank you, Jess, for this delightful puzzle.
