Boomer’s Delight

When I see grid shapes I like, or that appear especially challenging to work with, I sometimes try to take a stab at making my own version. Alas, this particular grid defeated me: I had to add the block between 1- and 5-Across. I came close, but no cigar.

Favorite clue: 2-Down.

Comments always welcome.
