On shore. Dare I say... super easy?
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

OK, so I didn’t find the meta immediately, but I did find it! On the beach, distancing socially and enjoying a lovely sangria.

If there had been no by-line, I think I might have guessed that it was a Patrick Berry. Maybe a Mike. Definitely not a Matt.

Very clever Mr. Berry! Count me on shore! And Sal, thanks for hosting the Zoom meeting. Great fun! Now let's see what tomorrow's Week 4 MGWCC brings. To quote Dr. Tom, I'm not looking forward to being disemboweled.

On the shore

By the way, the answer to 21 A is an excellent book

Sal - great zoom call on Tuesday. A fun hour.

On shore. Pretty easy one that I’d have had half an hour ago, but for interruptions (guy at my door, phone calls, two trips outside to see what was going on - definitely a Murphy’s Law kind of situation 😜).

On Shore.
Any Muggle suggestions on what adult beverage to share with family member turning 21 soon?
Thanks!

On shore. I missed it initially, but my solving buddy Yogi caught it and barked at me till I saw it. 😉 Great job by Patrick; that was fun.

Yes! I'd suggest a highball, with a base and a mixer, like a Tom Collins. See here for more suggestions: https://1drv.ms/p/s!As2DlELfEubAgRFOP92 ... m?e=QDE9NI

I may never get to the meta this week. Just the grid is killing me. Shoulda brushed up on movies, TV stars, and curried cuisine.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Given there are more than 600 Muggles and this video has only 130+ views, I am willing to venture not many have seen it. See Mike Schenk and Mike Miller as they discuss the evolution of Muggles and the quest for a Mug.

See y'all Thursday!

Cheers,

As mentioned in the Lounge, the meta/Muggles part of the video starts earlier than the link but after the start. Then m/M is interspersed throughout the rest of the video. You may want to start at

On shore. And on to the (week 4) disemboweling! (Hey what if that’s the answer?)

On shore! And I’m sure it’s right, but I’m still gonna sleep on it before submitting to make sure I haven’t missed some trap or extra step...
