Just did the grid with my daughter. (Son unavailable this week.) Many rabbit holes. Lots of highlighting. No answers. So I'm with Isaac.

Isaac? Wine me so I can whine (at) you.

Traveling tomorrow to Reno (wish me luck with the weather) and then Sunday to South Lake Tahoe (wish me luck with the weather and the driving). If we make it, at least I should be in heaven(ly) skiing with the many feet of snow they have and are getting!

Maybe inspiration will hit me while traveling?

Okay, I have want I think *should* be a wrong answer but I think *is* the right answer but if it is the wrong answer I can completely defend it.

So I need .... ouzo poured into an upside down wine glass to be lapped out of the stem like a kitten. That's appropriate for my answer.

On shore. Completed grid yesterday and spent a bit of time looking for a starting point, getting nowhere.

Travel day today, so mulled it over while driving. After dinner and a couple of drinks, I looked at it again and was quickly swept ashore.

I see the nit several have, but all is fair in metanisms.

Shoot. I was going to hop on the Zoom today because I haven't been able to in ages and because I somehow got the meta immediately (with the same quibble that most of us have). I think being a film buff probably helped a bit. But I lost track of time. Sorry I missed the fun.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Thanks to the zoomers who were helpful and clever. Got to shore but sand in my suit with the somewhat unsatisfying aha moment

Oh... the complaint everyone has. There's something to justify it.
GUAVA is not an anagram of VAGUE and PEPPER is not a palindrome.

Solved with no qualms nor reservations, but I'm not a purist. 100%er IMHO.

Ashore. 100% sure.
Surprised by all the regular muggles who declared that they are not 100% sure.
After all this is a typical Mike Shenk solve.

Declaring myself on-shore - and not particularly happily, but I guess we'll see when all is revealed!

Ashore with a slight nudge. I’ve never seen this group like this. If we were fooled into a pageant is this what the sentiments would be?
