Good evening muggles

I hope that everyone had or is having a great Thanksgiving. I just returned home from eating too much but having a great time with relatives. The meta is printing out as we speak and the tabulation of those on the shiip or shore will come out tomorrow morning.

Many thanks for @whimsy opening for me while I was familyizing.

Perfect long holiday weekend - quality time with Isaac, quality time on shore… but very cool once the light bulb clicked on. Cheers all!

Going to call it ashore. Not sure whether the shore is the one with the tiki bar or one on an isolated island suitable for marooning. But it is my shore, and I'm sticking with it. And now off for a glass of red.

On the beach.
The best part of Black Friday was the Muggle Zoom Room!
Well done, Mike Shenk.

On shore … for the 300th time. Still looking for my first mug - maybe this will be the one!

I've stared into the abyss of this puzzle. And it's stared back and said "oh you thought you were so smart after last week."

I've got nothing. Bupkis. Zilch. Nada. Zero.

Happy Thanksgiving all! ASHORE with the help of a big plate of leftovers and a lovely glass of Spanish Rioja. Pour me another! My Black Friday fits the unlikely description 100%. I hope yours has been the same.

I am comfortably ashore with a satisfying "Aha". No booze tonight after having plenty the last two!

Ashore at last! Took a few breaks and revisitations after eating T-day food/leftovers (yum!). A satisfying solve.

Woke up with a brilliant idea to solve the meta only it went nowhere. Still at sea.

Thinking you’re smart is always dangerous with these. The meta gods punish that kind of hubris. 😉

Hope your public admission appeases them and you get some post enlightenment.
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.)

Enjoying leftover turkey with Isaac.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.
