Late to the party as this one does not feel like a lock. Nevertheless, I'm on some shore!!! Guess we'll find out Monday if it's the right one.

Happy Easter, Muggles.

Good Saturday morning muggles

Matt sure threw us a lot of uncertainty for this weekend. We will either have a lot of muggle enjoying the beach or we will have probably the greatest pageant of all time.

First welcome to our newest muggle - FloridaMan81. Great to have more muggles

Currently we have Kas and femullen keeping Isaac company and 178 on the shore

Those on shore hoping that they are not on the back of a whale about to dive are:

Got on shore, at least I think, last week. If there is a pageant, I have no idea what it is (I suppose that's why it'd be a pageant).

Happy Easter!

I will count myself ashore with the other doubters...... Didn't get to start until near bed time Fri. Finished this AM after breakfast. Glad to have something to root for down in Florida! Hockey! A Saturday night game! Ski U Mah!

On the shore. With the doubters. Very skeptical that this is the shore. But here I am.

I have just boarded the Love Boat, hopefully I can solve the grid and the meta before the deadline. I was out of town for 7 days.

With the passage of time, I'm becoming more confident that the apparent answer is in fact the answer, simply because, with all the smart people here, if there were something else, someone would have found it by now.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

I spent a long time back-and-forthing with Isaac over this one and he finally lost patience with me and threw me out. */ "Get to the beach," he said. "So what if you're wrong. You weren't going to win the mug even if you were right."

So I guess I'm on the beach.

*/ Apologies to Isaac. Everyone here knows I'm kidding and that you would never lose patience with any of us, much less throw us out.
