This week's contest is by Patrick Berry

The answer to this week's contest crossword is a place where you might give one-word answers.

Good luck with the grid and the meta

Saw it quickly! How much fun was it chatting with my fellow Muggles on Tuesday evening. Thanks for arranging, Sal!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Done and I think I'm done.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

On shore. (I'm almost certain it's the right shore.)

On shore. I was about to post saying that I had finished the grid but had no idea about the meta, but then I had a sudden inspiration and solved it.

originally posted over in the Acapulco Lounge ...

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,

If only FORTY was a correct answer, I'd be on a 4 week solving streak. :kicksrock:
