On the beach! Nice one. G&T please, barkeep.
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Dog tired after a grueling day in the salt mines. I've got nothing so far. Putting it aside for a Manhattan and a movie (I'm thinking maybe The Big Sleep... it's been a while). I'll look at it with fresh eyes and a cup of magic coffee in the morning. For now, lost at sea, but hey. Things could be worse.
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.

Ha. Spoke too soon. Checked one last time and there it was. On shore. Also, I'm definitely watching The Big Sleep tonight.
