And, with 9 hours to go, I finally saw it. Oh, the rabbit holes I visited. Thanks to the kind muggle who pulled me out of them and got me to refocus, without giving anything away. I will take a very large G&T, please.

Ashore thanks to a nudge by Don of Ship4u. My brain can relax now.

Ashore with a nudge— it really is as great as everyone said! I will not submit for the WSJ mug, but I will definitely submit for the Golden Rabbit Hole.

Oooooh I could really use a nudge! Can't get even the first step, so would appreciate a very small hint!

Sorry, meant to private message for the nudge! But, any input from anyone appreciated!

On shore. Almost gave up. Usually, when it doesn’t happen by now, I end up happy that I didn’t spend more time on something I wasn’t going to get anyway.

Late start this afternoon. Ashore. It did take me some time as the mechanism did not jump at me right away. With a Mike Shenk's meta there is always a clean logic, so if it doesn't fit a pattern then it's not the right pattern.
Broke my Lent penance yesterday (lasted ~ 32 days, not too shabby) as I did celebrate my son's med school Match Day this weekend. There is still some Champagne left in the fridge, will drink to that

Washed up on sure. Wasn't sure but there are two verifications for the clever.

Lost at sea. I keep walking away hoping inspiration will hit me but all I do is find the same rabbit holes when I return.

Well I'm still out at sea and hoping to give it one last try tonight if anyone can throw me a hint.
