On shore, 100%. Toasting with a glass of champagne in anticipation of finally winning a mug.

Ashore. Again seemed too easy and I feel like I missed something. We'll find out on Monday if this is the right shore...

D & D and surprised to find myself among the first page of posters.
One of those rare weeks for me, where I used the meta solution to help me fill the grid.
