I am enjoying it on my coffee table book that turns into a coffee table.

Good Sunday morning muggles

The progression to the shore continues with 231 currently crowding the beach.

And would someone tell Isaac that we need more ice and Guiness at the bar.

Ashore! Hoping for more solves in March than the last 2 months. I'll enjoy a rum and Coke if I can get anywhere near the Tiki bar. Think i'll order 2 at a time.

Reporting in as ashore.

Just did the puzzle, as yesterday was a travel day home from a ski trip. Still grumbling at American Airlines for "delaying" our flight for just under 20 hours from Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning, so as not to have to give anyone hotel vouchers, even though most passengers were coming from about 70 miles away, as we were. We got the notification of this delay at the end of our hour and a half shuttle ride. And was anyone at the American ticketing/check-in counter when all the angry travelers were waiting in line to find out what happened? No. Eventually someone came out and announced to the crowd to pick up the bags they checked and come back tomorrow.

We booked United flights on our phone while in the airport, waiting in line.

ASHORE! After the last couple weeks, I was afraid I would be spending the weekend with Isaac again. And the I looked again then solution jumped up & slapped me up-side the head. Very nice meta! I'll have 3 Guinness to make up for the past couple of weeks! :D

Busy week -- just got to this tonight. Ashore. Gauging by the masses who preceded me, I'll have whatever is left.

Not to shoehorn into an utterly unrelated subject, but just a head's up that NPR reported today that 30-year NYT Puzzle Editor Will Shortz suffered a stroke on February 4, and has been in rehab since then. More in the Acapulco Lounge!
