This week's contest is titled "You Need Glasses" by Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week's crossword is a liqueur.

I'll drink to that.

Good luck to all getting the grid and the meta

Got it.

I tend to think this could "easily" have been made more difficult & interesting, but I don't mind having my afternoon free.

On shore! Fun puzzle!

Has anyone checked out the Perseid meteor shower? We had a semi-clear night last night and I was able to see 7 shooting stars in one hour of watching.

I can't finish this grid because 36D is a nonsensical clue. :-P

Ashore & thirsty for Guinness, please.

There's been a lot of Bourbon, lately.
(NOTE: I did not say too much.)
