My score: 1 tip
I had a connection -like experience of not exactly knowing what I was looking for with today’s puzzle. The answer first came in focus after I got spending and of course Shirley Bassey’s classic Hi Big Spender Come to think of.
My favorite of all the great things is cheese – and not just because cheese is one of humanity’s greatest culinary creations. Big cheese is also a nice way to describe a boss. It is disarming and charming, but also free (you are not only a cheese, you are a big cheese). Had this been an actual job title, I could have been more ambitious in the race on all the little cheese on the way to the top.
Still, I deduct … apologize. A nice puzzle, big thanks to the big cheeses at the Big Strands office to make it happen.
