I’m late getting here today. We had family Thanksgiving festivities yesterday due to everyone’s schedules, and I was so tired I slept late this morning. This was an easy one, no clues needed. The words just fell into place. Even the letters for author’s first name appeared from guessing other words. And his first name was obvious because of the apostrophe near start and the double at the end.

BTW… I always thought the 4th and 5th words should be ONE word.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
