I'm guessing it was :D

Schmeel! Prayers for you and yours in these crazy, infuriating days! Hope all is well with you. Tell us how you all are faring… how is life different today from 48 hours ago?
Thanks for the prayers, definitely necessary, every bit helps.
Things have indeed changed, nationally and, by extension, personally too. I hope and pray for better times. But given the nature of this forum I think I'll leave it at that. I probably won't be posting for the next while, and I'll try to respond to the PMs I received. Thanks again for the concern!

I'm ashore. I actually got there last night, but fell asleep before posting. Maybe I just floated in with the tide.

I think we might be on shore. At least we are on dry land. But perhaps it is just a sandbar. Any coffee around here?

Quite a complicated puzzle - a bit amazed that we finally got it!

I'm thinking road trip... 😋

I thought something about this puzzle sounded familiar.

A slow but steady progression to the shore as we have 10 on the ship enjoying the Jags - Bills game and 140 on the shore.

JeanneC and mlvilv joined Isaac's Sunday brunch and the crowd watching the game

I have submitted an answer that I can justify, so I am declaring myself ashore.

But in my mind it is definitely not a 100 percenter, and it might end up being a nominee for this week's Golden Rabbit award.

Be safe everyone. If you can't post for a while, know that we are thinking of you.

Ashore!

Nice glass (or two...) of Nickel and Nickel DeCarle Vinyard 2019 to celebrate/bemoan the impending end of golf season.

Haven't had much time to look at the puzzle, since we spent most of the day chasing around Chicago. Our son ran the Chicago Marathon today (beautiful day for it) and we managed to see him at miles 4, 12, 17, and 25! Quite an accomplishment! Pics from miles 4 and 17.

There is still time but settling into my afternoon with Isaac. So many leads but floundering. It may be too late for this puzzle, but remind me, please, when the Zoom sessions are.
