The original concept for this puzzle had MOVEMBER as the revealer; I'd already participated in the past and was reminded of it when I came across the name while putting another puzzle together. The handlebar in the center was a perfect fit, and once that lil' cutie was in place, I knew I'd have to make the rest of the puzzle work, come hell or high water. The NE was the worst to fill and was the only part that remained unscathed through revision, mainly because there was very little that could be done to fix the iffiest parts (at least, by someone of my talent level).
About me: to do our part to ensure the entropy of the universe continues to expand, our family will be welcoming our third (and final) child by this time next month. If anyone wishes to shoot the breeze on parenthood, dynasty baseball, actuarial science, or, naturally, crossword construction, feel free to drop me a line (amgxwrd@gmail.com).
