Good Friday afternoon
Currently we have 3 muggles keeping Isaac company and 38 on the shore with varying degrees of difficulty.

Good luck to all.

Enjoy!
Brian, the quotation mark button says "reply with quote." Is there another way to reply?

On shore! Got a late start due to business travel and another meta that was bedeviling me. Like others, I took some wrong turns before finding the path. Must have wandered past something (I dare not be more specific than that) 2 or 3 times before seeing what I was supposed to see.

Have a great Holiday weekend, all!

On shore. Thanks to Mike for hiding one valuable clue among many of the red herring variety. Always a great brain workout session. I’m ready for the cool down under a beach umbrella now.

Yikes! I spent the evening solving the Fireball, the WSJ, and the MGWCC. The only one that came easily was the MGWCC. I'll keep looking, but for now I'm stuck with Isaac.

Finally made it to shore after some helpful nudges from a friend.

On shore. Spent a bit a time down the wrong passageway of the correct rabbit hole, after racing right by the (recognized) correct passageway.

This one feels to me as if it should be easier than I'm making it. Always happy to spend time with Isaac so that's where I'll be if you're looking for me!

There is a new person over at the old site (jeffrey parish) asking some questions. I tried twice to reply, and the posts don't appear. Maybe some of you who have been at this longer than I have can help him.

Well I tried. I said we had moved here due to new wsj rules and would be glad to help. It asked me if I was sure I wanted to say that. I said yes. Then it said a moderator would review shortly.

I was trying to respond to a new member comment on the wsj web site (twice) and it told me that someone would review my comment. However I never heard back and it was never posted. (high level of frustration)

I just tried too and also have a reply pending moderation. Wonder if all of them will appear eventually. Looks like they did allow one response through anyway.

Imagine being the poor person who has to sort through all the comments on all the WSJ articles all weekend.
