Ashore. Not so sure about a sandwich themed puzzle during passover though!

I’ve had that problem before with my iPhone and iPad. Clearing all the WSJ cookies fixed it.

Cute puzzle. I’m joining the shore crowd.

After paddling in circles a week ago, I have made my way to land. And since real-life Happy Hours are a socially distant memory, I'll admit it: This crowd could not be more delightful. Cheers and best wishes for the weekend. (Working from home, I don't always know what day it is. But if a new contest puzzle is out, there's gotta be a weekend around the corner.)

Ashore.
No bread, beer or bourbon this week. Slivovitz'll have to do.

I will say this: I'm drinking a LOT less now than before the quarantine. Between all our band jobs being cancelled and no trivia and no day drinking, why, I'm almost a saint. Almost.

Done and done. And it goes well with Guinness... but, then again, doesn't everything?

Be safe, stay healthy. Happy Easter or Passover!
'tis... A lovely day for a Guinness!

Nice one, and after a lot of rain the sun has come out as well. Looking forward to the four glasses of wine at today's second seder.

Well I have to be some kind of idiot. I see all kinds of possibilities but obviously not enough of them if there are already two pages of "Ashores" and the puzzle has hardly been out over an hour. I must either need more or less food and drink...
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!

Ashore & submitted.

Had a recent birthday & received an embarrassment of riches from my children & siblings, including a growler of English Mild Ale from my local micro brewery. I know what's for dinner & with what I will wash it down!

Best luck to all muggles!

Dory says, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming". With metas it’s "Just keep looking, just keep looking." Finally, the rabbit will show you his butt. I am on the shore.

Ashore. Tiki Bar. With an endless 8-track loop of John Prine playing.
Kicka pooka mok a wa wahini
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconut on my tiki
What the hecka mooka mooka dear
