Finished grid with no problem; still on the boat. This week, the boat is on the lake. Anyone travelling through Alabama on I-65 give me a shout and join me. I will be here until Monday.

Made short work of the grid but the meta? I see too many rabbit holes. May have to sleep on this one. Oh, and raise your hand if you’ve EVER heard of 63a! Liars. All y’all. :roll:

Why yes; yes we are! Join us Tuesday at 7:30 Eastern time for Muggles Zoom gathering. Link can be found somewhere on this site. Also someone will probably post it on this topic shortly before meeting time.

My husband took his first crack at solving the meta all on his own and is now my Plus One at the pig roast!
