Thanks for the shoutout, @Bob cruise director !

that took me far longer than it should have ... but solidly on the beach.

What playoffs?

Late start, but on shore with the rest of y'all. Cabana boy! Another glass of Washington State Cabernet

Couldn't finish the grid but got the meta. Still amazed out how Mike does these things.

A safe weekend to you all!

I'm guessing they're referring to the glorious greatness that is playoff hockey.

And Go Stars! :)

Ashore. Started the grid, went to see two movies, came home, finished the grid, solved meta, submitted answer, thought I was clever, logged onto muggles site, found out I'm almost midnight and page 9 clever- but not 4:05 clever.

I highly recommend "Polite society" and "Sisu", both are not typical formulaic Hollywood films, and therefore are not predictable. I enjoyed both.

Ashore! It came together pretty quick. H will have a Raspberry Lime Rickey, and J will have a Mango Pineapple Smoothie.

Was a satisfying solve. Tight answer. Nice one from Mike Shenk!

But only to round two. And I can't believe I actually made myself root for Dallas. :evil:
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

Quick swim to shore here. I had a couple .394 pale ales at the Dawes concert in celebration.
