shot and chaser (cryptic) (5.1.24)

Aaron Riccio

Aaron Riccio is happy that his "middle"-aged crisis manifested as a compulsion to start constructing cryptic crosswords, which he started doing a year ago after blogging and streaming a great number of them. The stream is currently on hiatus while he gets to bonding with his second child, teaching his first kid to swim, and trying not to fall asleep on the sofa while watching The Amazing Race with his wife, but if you liked any of these clues, you can find weekly mini cryptics posted at The Crossword Scholar.
