The title of this week's contest is Risky Business by Mike Shenk. The answer to this week's contest crossword is a precarious thing to do.

Dang--second place again!
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

All set! Not complaining. I could use a nice glass of wine.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Thank goodness I saw this one quickly!
BTW, on our Tuesday call I mentioned what a fun time Mark and I had doing a Zoom scavenger hunt and suggested that others might want to try this with their families. Here are the details (on my blog):

Happy to be on shore on page 1. Unusual lately.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Later that same night, my girlfriend called and said "Hey, I've got a great idea for our family Christmas Zoom get-together..." Yeah, same idea. So it's fated now; I have to do it...
