After a rough couple of weeks I got on shore within seconds of starting to work on the meta. Crowded indeed...

Due to a Maynard G. Krebs issue (Work!), I got a late start on the puzzle. Yay! I got it. Like others, I never heard of this person and had to check with Mr G to be sure!!! Now I can relax and enjoy a brew!!!!!!!

On shore 👏🏻 Enjoying a glass of vino at the lake. Fresh air makes my brain work more efficiently I think.

Rowed safely ashore singing a happy country tune. Having an IPA on the beach in Pine Knoll Shores, North Carolina, on the Outer Banks. Aunt Norma is still in the middle of the sea with Isaac having a Pinot Grigio, but I’m sure she’ll be joining us soon. Fun one!

I hope the person who is the meta answer doesn’t come here and find out how many of us have never heard of him/her.🙂

I think it's called the recency effect, but that person's name just arose in another context. I think I'll give them a listen now...

On shore! Had to put this down until now - - agree with most (had to google the name), but happy to join the crowded beach-goers! A Blanton's for me!

Me too! I was quite surprised to see her make an earlier "Who is that?!" list.

I've never read a word of any of her books, but knew who she was. Yma Sumac, on the other hand...

Made it to shore on Friday, and finally found an Internet cafe overlooking the beach to post the news. Matt hits the right note on this one!
