Not a theme that needs a lot of thought, but an early week puzzle that is meant to be smoothly and quickly solved, and it does just that.
I begin on a buoyant note, solving smoothly and confidently, which carries me through the themed puzzles for the week, and just as I'm hitting my stride I get derailed by a tough themeless, like today's grid by Joe DiPietro.
SUNDAY'S PUZZLE — Normally, Patrick Berry's puzzles solve very smoothly, but apparently he's lost control of his vowel sounds.

That's the facet of his songwriting that smoothly and stealthily poses and solves musical challenges: how to make odd meters strut like a samba, how to make a chromatic labyrinth sound like a promenade.
But after getting over that hump, solving went fairly smoothly.
The results of our implementation show that in the new practice mode, the students have master the programming language tools more solidly, and use the computer to solve the practical problem more smoothly.
It should now move smoothly and cleanly again, allowing you to solve it quickly and with ease.
When thermal diffusivity does not vary smoothly within a computational domain, standard numerical methods for solving heat equilibrium problems often converge to an inaccurate solution.
Collectively, they are tasked with coaxing a massive global system of air travel to operate smoothly, 24 hours a day, every day, and quickly solve for disruptions — from accidents to Acts of God.
