I see what I am supposed to see, but not sure what the next step is. I'm probably over complicating it, as usual.

Wow - very impressed with this one. And I was literally on the beach when I solved it.

I might be ashore. I may not be. But since we dont know how many letters it has, I can’t rule any answer out. sigh.

Predicting a crowded beach for the holiday weekend. I'm toes in the sand, sunscreen on.

I got this one. I would be happier if I knew the # of letters though because I do these online and preferably without even resorting to Joe's fantastic excel file. That made me wonder if I was skipping something. But I came up with a really valid and good answer, so I'm sure I didn't.

Ashore. Feels good to get it on Thursday after last week's face plant. Oh cabana boy -- bring me a tankard of your finest ale.

Edited to add: As always, I'm in 34A of the constructors' ability to put these things together.

Hey, the diet seems to working (down a notch and a half on the belt), so I think I'll pass on the stronger libations for now. (Just an iced tea, please.)
So I stepped out onto the deck to find that Lynne had made Manhattans!

I am absolutely blown away by the construction this week. Some marvel at Einstein, others at Michelangelo. I stand in awe of Shenk and Gaffney.

Ashore.

First time posting...I am on shore!
