Cryptics are not always tagged as such.

Thanks, syzzie. A quickie, but most enjoyable.

Thanks again syzygy, pretty straightforward though 10's scatter didn't "register" right away, enjoyable as ever.

Enjoyable as always although “scatter” still doesn’t reveal itself to me.

Also can’t see how quest B parses.

Scat is a style of singing for which Ella Fitzgerald is famous.

over: PAST
gym: Y

Thanks syzzie. I enjoyed it and finished without help, though I did guess the meta.

Aristo, Y is gym Y?? Serious question. I put in PASTY but couldm't parse it all

Over here, at least, the YMCA is usually called the Y.

Thank you, aristo, but am still in the dark!
Is not the YMCA a youth movement, helping them to "play a fulfilling role in their communities"? Over here, a gym is a place where people do a large amount of physical exercise.

Ah well, I'll remember that. "Gym" may mean Y

I think it's just that the Y always has a gym, and most people go there primarily for physical exercise. The one near us is rather upscale, with all sorts of fancy equipment and a swimming pool and (I think) a sort of coffeehouse, but most people would think of a visit there as going to the gym. I wonder how many Ys still offer spiritual enlightenment.
