Solved and submitted!

I'll have another Mai Tai which should help me get over the Dodgers tragic and embarrassing end to the post season last weekend.

Great puzzle construction!

Just getting to this now wish it had been one of my early days! Might have made page 1. Ashore and pencil sharpened for MGWCC week 3!

Gotta respect the construction. No idea how those of you who construct these beauties do it. Amazing.

Stay well

Is there anything you'd like me to talk about next week? Old jokes? Favorite movies? I'm open to suggestions.

I'll be dipped! Onshore with no nudge. I'll have a Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit, thank you very much.
P.S. go 'Stros!
