Tom, Sew (Lisa) I do not see responses from you in my box. So that may be a long wait

Off the couch!
I got the alternate acceptable answer. I’d like to comment on why not the other, but it’s possible my comment could hint at the answer for those still solving.

Even when working from home, with a well-stocked fridge and a wardrobe that redefines "business casual," the start of a new week can be a painful slog. Which is why I'm so very, very grateful that I've discovered Muggle Meta Mondays. Regardless of whether I ultimately leave the couch, these puzzles provide a tantalizing reminder that all is not lost. (Well, there's the small matter of my mind, but it'll wander home at bedtime.) Week after week, this XWord Muggles Forum is a godsend. And when some of the regular correspondents toss their clever creations into the arena - and this latest challenge from Peter is no exception - I am dumbstruck by wonder. Thank you all!

Left the couch as noted by Peter, another fun puzzle with his usual knack for great cluing. I particularly liked 17A, 19A, 64A and 38D (GREAT clue for a tough fill). But my favorite was 63A - still chuckling about that. Plus, when the answer(s) are revealed (leave it to Peter to fit TWO answers in one puzzle AND, I contend, even a third) I have one of those "well it seemed right at the time" stories. I mean I sometimes amaze myself with my own foolishness! It really has nothing to do with the answer and everything to do with my NEED to complete the GRID before I solve the META.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

I got one confirmed answer so far. So am I sitting up on the couch?

Ah yes, but did you get the THIRD game? Peter wasn't even aware of how crafty he was, but for the Bronze Star META-L with Confab V (award a META solver can receive for a heroic effort and meritorious deed performed in a cruciverbal conflict; the Confab V is for extra achievements while exposed to family harassment during direct participation in solving operations) I swear there is a Third,

Peter, you may temporarily disagree but if you look at the first one I sent you (in my "let's suppose" guise) you have to admit it fulfills the criteria pretty well!

Hmm - for those who read the spoiler above - if only my name were Nash, they would be Nash Ramblings and of course I'd be the Nash Rambler (well at least I am not a Gremlin!)
