I'm either ashore or being completely pageanted and it's all a dream.

Stay well all

On the beach...cute.

In college, my housemate brought home a rescue dog who lived with us until graduation and with him until today. I don't usually have whiskey this early but just had a glass of Laphroaig in her honor. R.I.P., Phaedra.

Ashore in record time, thanks to collaboration with the Mrs. Will celebrate Saturday with something bourbon-based.

Fun construction.

Enjoy your weekend all; stay warm/dry/safe wherever you are.

Fast wade to shore. Good meta, even if a tad easy. Glad I have my spot picked out for me and my darling wife Janice. ;-)

Just read a recent WSJ article about Detroit style (which I'd never heard of). Square edges and cheese under sauce, right?

Barolo, yum.

Ashore and in search of suitable tropical beverage. Definitely had the answer before the full mechanism, but didn't take too long to spot the full process.

If you ever get to Detroit go to Greektown and go to Pizzapapalis - it’s amazing!

Ashore! A little surprised that we're only posted to page 5, but we'll take it!

Fun construct - and a 100%er!
