I'm ashore. Think I'll start with a Sam Adam's Boston Lager.

Solved. I think I could defend an answer that is not THE answer.

You and me both, Dplass!
EDIT: On shore, but only thanks to a kind Muggle who enlightened me as to a basic fact of modern life. I will be at the beach party but don't deserve to be. Just point and laugh when you see me.

On shore! Can't relate to that title because I am a night owl who gets a burst of energy and productivity around 9 pm!

should be a 100% answer if you have the right one

Dr. Tom, I had some of those boy ants in the kitchen a while ago. I had set out some fruit (strawberries and blueberries) to make a smoothie and got distracted. When I came back to cut it up, I found it crawling with ants. No problem I will just wash the ants off and proceed. I put the bowl in the sink and filled it with water and dished out the fruit by hand to rinse before cutting. Ants swimming all over the place and crawling out into the sink and onto the counter.

Grossly overthought that one, but now I'm safely ashore on this chilly night, huddled around the cabana bar, wrapped in three towels and looking for something warm to drink.

My first instinct led to a 100 percent answer. Rare for me.

Ashore.
