CRYPTIC I

Well, kids,I've dipped my feet into the deep end. Or perhaps I've gone off the deep end.  I suppose it "deep ends" how you look at it.

In any event, I've constructed my first ever cryptic crossword.  

So, we're taking a break from the weekly routine and posting a well-known type of puzzle.

Here's the link.

If you have any constructive criticism I'd love to hear it.  Flattery's fine, too. I'm brand new at this and don't expect to hit it out of the park on the first go.
