Today’s Cryptogram

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Solution to our last puzzle:
VISITS ALWAYS GIVE PLEASURE: IF NOT THE ARRIVAL, THE DEPARTURE. PORTUGUESE PROVERB
Same to you, FRiend.
Just take a guess at the nine letter word.
Thank you for this thread throughout the year.
Thx ...back atcha!!!
Wait, let me rephrase that...
And Merry Christmas to you all!!
And thanks for doing these puzzles - I look forward to them every day.
Once I saw the connection between words 6 and 7, it all made sense.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
LOL! I was getting nowhere till I came and checked out the responses!
And the same to you.
I really look forward to these puzzles when I fire up the computer in the morning.
Thank you for letting me know. Some days I think there are only a few people out there doing my puzzle....good to hear from everyone....
We completed a full year. It’s been fun esp to watch people getting good even cocky.
I love the visual tangential clues that magnum44 and others are posting, that are almost as fun as figuring out the puzzle.
I usually get these quickly, but this one is killing me. What am I missing?
I feel dumb right now. I’ve solved the cryptogram except for the second word in the author’s name.
It just hit me, now I feel really dumb!!!
Right back at you, FRiend!!!
