Ashore!
We’re in Towson, MD to cheer for Latvia in the Women’s World Lacrosse Championship. My son’s girlfriend coaches the team. The women are having a great experience here!
Got back to hotel last night and quickly finished the grid and the meta.
Happy Fourth of July!

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Late start after wedding/WDW week (who plans a wedding in Orlando in June!) Went down a small rabbit hole but quickly righted the boat and made it ashore. Newly positive COVID test so simple fluids for me.

I swam quickly ashore on Friday but am just now getting the time to say so. It was nice to get off the boat, no offense intended to Isaac :)
Happy Independence Day, and thanks to all who have kept us free by their service to our country!

Okay, okay.... I'll do it, since no one else is volunteering.

Good evening muggles

Our final report has 289 on the shore with OliviaL, Brian M, Debbie and davis178 reporting in since noon. As usual, I will add up any last-minute muggles finding space on the very crowded shore between now and midnight.

Have a safe fourth.

Remember no WSJ tomorrow so we won't know the winner until Tuesday

Ashore with the rest of you! I think it was easy because there was one clue too many.

Tell It Like It Is

R&B, Texas blues, rock or pop
Will the musical mix ever stop?
So it seems on the level
To suggest Aaron Neville
Could cover the band ZZ Top

I wrote last week without spoilers that Alexa was playing Aaron Neville right when I solved the meta. I'd asked Alexa to play shuffled songs by Linda Ronstadt, and I solved it right when their famous duet was playing. I agree with you @vandono it's a classic.

I definitely listen to a lot more 67A, but this well-known singer has a duet with one of my favorite singers of any genre, and it is just brilliant.
