Has anyone heard from Sal as to whether he or anyone else is opening the zoom meeting. If we don't hear from him, I can open up one but only for 45 minutes
Looks like you may need to...

If you open one, will you put the address here or do we use his? I've only got about a half hour anyway, since the Yankees are starting a little after 8 (EST).

I need a password to join. Thought maybe it was the MeX... at the end of this post, but it's not working for me.

Thanks. Right after I posted that I closed that page and started over and (obviously) got in.

The Wed WSJ puzzle - was really great - I normally don't comment on the daily puzzles unless they don't make sense to me but this one was really elegant and I would put the difficulty of construction up there with any of the WSJCC puzzles.

Agreed. Really liked how smooth it was in solving it. Of course, I solved that one, unlike this meta (which I stared at for 2 hours with no idea to do about it) or any meta for that matter...
Good people can do Zoom meetups...don't have the equipment or Internet connection or I would have joined, but it's good people are getting together!

I also enjoyed the Wednesday puzzle.
And in the 'better late than never category,' I was able to drift to shore on last week's meta. I had been away at a socially distanced family wedding all weekend, so didn't get to the puzzle until Monday. Obv didn't get a chance to submit, but so glad to hear a Muggle won!
Only one more day until Thursday!

I know this is devoted to Friday's WSJ contest. But on the Thursday WSJ: check out 14 across. The first time I have ever actually seen this clue in a crossword.
