Woo Hoo! Happily ashore for only my second Thursday. Having a nice Brunello! Learned a new word (57A). Looking for ways to use it in a sentence. "That's a very lovely [ spoiler removed] dress you are wearing" just doesn't roll off the tongue?

Onshore - Got a late start but solved it before 100% finished the grid. Looks like it might be crowded relative to last week.

One more breeches story: We were on a road trip last week and played golf at Payne’s Valley. We got paired up with a couple of guys dressed in knee breeches! I couldn’t believe it! It was right after that puzzle.

On shore. What a relief after last week!

Hubby: Thank goodness THAT’S done!

He obviously sensed my frustration last week.

Have a happy and safe Halloween everybody!
