Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

A lot of sizzle in today's crossword, appropriate for the 4th of July. Both Jean & Mike, even though they were solving independently, experienced HIGHANXIETY, and had reasons to WAIL, in the same places. The first was at the corner of 102D, Delicious food, in modern slang, NOMS, and 109A, ÷ and † in typography, OBELI (yikes!); the second was 14D, Hair loss, ALOPECIA, crossing with 40A, Jess's best friend in "New Girl", CECE (egads!). There were some ZANY answers (courtesy of 60A, Clownish), and others that brought UNBRIDLEDJOY, (90A, Wild horse's emotion?), and we have GUARDEDOPTIMISM that tomorrow's crossword will be less strenuous than today's.
