Done and done.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Still on board... I tend to get hooked on a mechanism and I have to pry myself away from it and try again.

Spent many childhood summers in the Poconos catching sunnies, taking trash to the dump in the pickup truck, hacking the old-fashioned mechanical soda machine, and, yes, doing puzzles!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Good Friday muggles. Our report is coming from 56A (not that one but another one)

We welcome two new muggles this week - BeTheLight and AnswerPfinder.

And so far we have 74 on the shore and 5 on the ship.

And Matt missed a golden opportunity for Red Sox fans with 48D. (that is the only thing we have to cheer about this year)

We had a home in Brier Crest Woods, near Jack Frost Ski Area. We would walk to the Pocono Raceway to watch the Pocono 500 when I was a kid. Lake Wallenpaupack was a favorite place to go when we decided to venture outside our neighborhood.

If you Googled the Monopoly board to solve that meta (as I did), many of the images that first popped up were from Amazon. So now they know you're "in the market" for a board. It's not a coincidence. I used private browsing when I Googled for board images, but I'm sure I'm about to get a "go directly to jail" card.

At sea. Sampling from the bottom shelf. Will move onto wine here shortly if it doesn't come to me.
