I believe that I am on shore this week. Nice to meet you all!

Time for a nice glass of sauvignon blanc!
@heroine.chic Welcome to the group. You clearly will fit right in as you have your priorities straight. Do your daughters know that they are a step lower in priorities than crossword puzzles? LOL

Ashore.

Late to the landing party, but glass of wine (100% Croatina) in hand.

This was one of those... you know... puzzles. The metanism helped me finish the grid.

Good luck to all!

Ashore, nice to see so many happy faces.
Took a bit of extra time to finish the grid, then a very quick solve.
I look forward to the Q&A tomorrow!

LOLOL not a step lower, but I knew that if I can't face the DMV without a crossword puzzle, then there was no way I was going to be able to get through labor pains without my favorite distraction! :lol:
