After a complete catastrophe last week, it was smooth sailing to the beach this week. Looking for some shade, a blanket, good company and an ice cold... anything - I'll have anything!

Ashore! (We think!)

One piece that we're not absolutely sure we have the proper reasoning for --- but enough coincidences that we're willing to claim success!

Solved after a late start and many distractions. Work always getting in the way.

Was in a meeting and couldn't start the puzzle on the hour, but I'm ashore now!
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

Somehow made my way ashore with no nudges - maybe I’m finally getting my sea legs??

Done and (Count me as) done. A little worried here, too. May be an interesting Zoom discussion.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

I’m thinking the zoom session won’t be necessary this week?

On the beach, easy one. Suspect the beach is going to be crowded this week!

One final "Ashore" from me: the time has come for me to move on.
Thanks for the interaction over the past 2+ years and the great work by Bob and the moderators (sounds like the name of a band that performs at weddings...). Speaking of bands, since some of you PMed me in the past about why Flying_Burrito, I can share that I borrowed my social user name from the Flying Burrito Brothers, one of my favorites in terms of alternative country rock bands.
Be good,

Chris
