The seeds for today’s puzzle were 20A (something I actually do say quite a bit; I even have a t-shirt to that effect) and 35A (which was going to be the revealer in a themed puzzle containing the examples in the clue as answers, but I couldn’t come up with two more themers).
I’m posting this on a Thursday instead of my usual Saturday because I’m heading off on another adventure: a day or so in Copenhagen followed by five days in Poland (Warsaw and Krakow), three days in Prague, a Viking cruise on the Elbe River, and a couple of days in Berlin. In the past I’ve continued to post puzzles while out of the country, but I decided to take a break this time, so look for my next puzzle post in mid-May.
In the meantime, please follow my travel posts if you’re so inclined: go to http://puffinlesstravel.com/ for lots of photos and some (hopefully) entertaining prose. If you like what you see there, please “follow” me!

Love your idea for a themed puzzle with 35A as the revealer, but the clue is great for a single answer, too. I liked what I think was a bit of a misdirect at 41A. Other favorites include 44A, 62A, 65A, 12D and 35D (nice that E and E get their last name in a grid for a change!) Looking forward to your posts over on Puffinless Travel. It sounds like another wonderful trip. Based on the tags on your website, I don’t think you’ve been to Prague before; it’s one of my favorite cities. The last time I was in Berlin, it was still divided into East and West: I need to get back to the unified city! Safe travels.

Thanks, Jeanne! I was disappointed that I couldn’t get 35A to work as a revealer, but half of my themeless puzzles are seeded with entries that I couldn’t get to work in a themed puzzle. I have in fact been to Prague, back in 2018 when I was less focused on tagging my posts properly. Here’s a link if you’re interested.
