Safely ashore with a pesky ear bug but no swimmer's ear!
Cheer, cheer old 21D! Might as well look forward to the college hockey season, now that the Sox are toast.
Salud!!
'tis... A lovely day for a Guinness!

I enjoyed 21 down! Just finished the grid, hope the meta will be quick.

Count me ashore. I was happy to see Peter Gordon in the byline and he did not disappoint.

Challenging puzzle, fun meta. Loved it. Full, full weekend on the beach. I’m going to love that mug. And I share.
