Phew. Was really been getting to think I had completely lost my mojo. Back ashore and incredibly relieved to be there.

Stay well all

Agree! Today's NYT was fun!

Meanwhile, a fairly quick trip to shore on this WSJCC for me.

More of a jetski than a swim back to the shore....

I've noticed this myself...When pandemic started I signed up for a year with the USA today crossword as its direction under Erik Agard had garnered much excitement...I've barely done any beside the weekly contests the past couple of months....

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Certainly easier for me that the last few weeks.

Probably a glass of red wine for me, little later.
