Ashore! 6:28 Thursday is a new record for me (usually because I don't look at it right away) so I will celebrate with a modest pour from my bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label.

Double Trouble! Can't disrespect the theme. Let's go with a healthy pour!

Good luck to all!

Ashore!

I'm missing the confirmation I usually see when I have a lock, but I am 99% sure I have the right answer...

Ashore!

Is it just me or have Mike and Matt switched places in their “good cop/bad cop” scenario? I used to find Mike’s metas easy and Matt’s hard; now, it’s the other way ‘round.

Yeah … it’s probably just me … 😜.

I apologize for the double post (purely accidental) on page one and because of that you are actually on page one!!! Congrats

A longer explanation

Thursday at 4 is an interesting time. If I am lucky and I am between cases I can get right to it. If I am even more lucky and get it right away I have to remember to turn off my WiFi because the IT police at my hospital don’t respect this uber-safe site as such (the nerve!) and quickly post as I imagine a dozen others are at the same time (last week there were like 8 posts at exactly the same time). Sometimes does not go through or seems not to as happened today even though it had. Then of course submit and turn the Wi-Fi back on, and go on to the next case!

Stay well all

Ugh, I see the ... and the other ... but not the ....so... I'm not able to read Matt's mind on this one just yet.

Fun fact, I once met 1A -- my wife's cousin used to be married to their daughter. I'm famous!
