If Al slides over, I'll get this round. An unexpectedly early solve ... and an unsurprisingly lingering earworm. Have a great weekend, all, whene'er it arrives.

On shore for sure. Time for a pina colada to beat the heat.

So very clever! I'm on shore. Well, DUH! was my response when I "got it."
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

My first reaction was wrong! Good thing I checked. I think the beach will be crowded this weekend. I’m on it with my margarita.

One more on the beach. Sussed the meta out long before the grid was done. Fun!

Not my wheelhouse, as most of you know, but nevertheless a quick trip to the beach.
