Across
- 5. Describes the full solar eclipse effect which we observed in Hiawassee GA this summer.
- 7. We were thrilled to see this musical about an American Founder on the $10 bill.
- 9. The number of ounces in a beer keg, the name of a George Orwell novel, and the year Apple first advertised its McIntosh computer.
- 11. This was the 400th anniversary of this beer brewer’s 99 Theses.
- 12. ATL experienced two major ones this year. One ruined a highway bridge. The other marooned us at the airport by cutting off the power in mid December.
Down

- 3. Fiona, a baby of this species born this year at the Cincinnati Zoo charmed us on the Internet.
- 4. Probably not a good idea to hang this at the office Christmas party this year. Botanically speaking, it’s a parasitic lichen.

- 8. It takes up to 15 ponytails to make one and Chris donated her 3rd this year.
