Tropical fruit with highly nutritious seeds / MON 10-10-22 / Tuna type in sushi restaurants / White dogs or bluish-gray cats / Credential for a painter or sculptor / The Wire character portrayed by Michael K. Williams

Constructor: Byron Walden

Relative difficulty: Easy

THEME: PAR TWO (67A: Common miniature golf goal ... or a hint to what's found in 17-, 39- and 60-Across) — "PAR" appears "TWO" times in each of the three theme answers:

Theme answers:

• SPARRING PARTNER (17A: Opponent who helps train a boxer)
• PARALLEL PARKING (39A: Most difficult challenge for many a student driver)
• PARTS DEPARTMENT (60A: Place in an auto dealership to pick up wiper blades or spark plugs)

Word of the Day: MALTESES (42A: White dogs, or bluish-gray cats) —

Maltese dog refers both to an ancient variety of dwarf canine generally associated with the island of Malta and to a modern breed of dog in the toy group. [...] The modern variety traditionally has a silky, pure-white coat, hanging ears and a tail that curves over its back, and weighs up to 3–4 kg (7–9 lb). The Maltese does not shed. /// A Maltese (Italian: [malˈteːze]) is any cat whose fur is either completely, or primarily, gray or blue and is of indeterminate breed. (wikipedia)

As for the theme, I don't know ... I love that the themers are all 15s; gives a pleasing visual consistency to the set. But I can't say that any of the answers on their own is that exciting, and the two "PAR"s concept just doesn't have much inherent interest. You gotta go to mini-golf for the concept, which is fine, but ... I'm just not feeling much thematic PEP here today. As for the grid as a whole, I really like it. Played like a (very) easy Monday themeless. A whopping eight (!) 9-letter answers in addition to the three 15s from the theme. That's eleven long answers total, all of which are somehow crammed into a regular 15x15 grid that actually plays like a Monday. Not sure when I've seen so many long answers in an early-week grid. The answer count is slightly low for a Monday (74, instead of the usu. 78 or 76), but not that low. I feel like there's some kind of weird clown-car magic going on here. I just don't see how he got all those long answers in there, and still managed to keep the grid butter-smooth. It's really quite a constructing feat, and one that's so low-key that I doubt many people will notice or appreciate it. So I'm tepid on the theme itself, but kind of in awe of the grid as a whole. Think of it like a themeless and I think you've got a fine Monday solving experience on your hands. I'm not that hard to please on Mondays. Gimme some CHEAP WINE and some BOY GEORGE, maybe a TACO or two, and I'm good.

I just watched a "Rockford Files" episode where Jim owned a piece of an up-and-coming boxer, and there were definitely SPARRING PARTNERs in there somewhere. The episode also featured a car dealership (run by Mary Frann, of "Newhart" fame), which must've had a PARTS DEPARTMENT. And now that I think of it, Jim runs into some PARALLEL PARKING trouble outside the young boxer's house when some goons arrive and box in his iconic Pontiac Firebird (lic. CA 853 OKG). He has to ram his way out of the curbside spot. Very inelegant, but desperate times etc. Basically I'm saying that I just watched this crossword puzzle in "Rockford" form, not 30 minutes ago, so I probably had an advantage over most of you. Probably accounts for why I barely broke stride from beginning to end. PREENS before PRIMPS (1A: Fusses in front of the mirror), but after that, absolutely no hesitation on any clue until I went with EASY AS PIE and then EASY AS ABC before finally realizing it was EASY-PEASY at 34D: "So simple!" Then I weirdly wrote in PEONY before POPPY at 50D: Red flower of wartime remembrance, and then refused to pull the trigger on the inane INANER and just let the crosses do the work, which slowed me down slightly. Otherwise, again, about as easy a puzzle as I've ever done. Even the long stuff came easy. And yet it was colorful enough to be interesting, despite the easiness. 

"A Fast Count" ("The Rockford Files" Season 5, ep. 11) (100th episode overall!)
Guest starring Mary Frann (Newhart's wife on "Newhart"!) and
Kennth McMillan, who was in everything in the '70s and '80s, usually playing
dads and cops ... my fav role of his was the borough chief
in The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 (1974), or maybe Rhoda's boss on "Rhoda"

Enjoy the start of your week. See you back here tomorrow, I hope.
