Ashore after seeing page 8 already and wondering if I would solve too! Thank goodness I saw the path. The grid is another challenge.

Ashore! 3 weeks, 3 solo-solves. No doubt reality will set in next week. Or the next. Or ….

Count us ashore with the rest of y'all. Enjoyed an esoteric Spanish red tonight.

A safe weekend to all you Muggles.

I am on the beach after a very late start. I saw the metanism pretty quickly, so no CRISS-crossing the bar in frustrated pacing. No steALThy glances at other muggles' papers. No tHRowing my hands up in despair. Just a smooth trip ASHore! I'll have a Yuengling Hershey's portER.

Very late start with a quick swim to shore. Did my imbibing before puzzling, but will find an appropriate celebratory libation tomorrow evening. Cheers!
