Took me a few minutes but ashore.

Love being on the top of page 2! As a wise man once said, Page 2 is the new Page 1.

Got it! I'm cleaning out old files and thought Muggles might be amused by this photo from 1970. My mother saved everything!

Ashore! Just missed page 1!
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

Done and done
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

On shore! Tough grid: movies, business, and geography are not my strong points.

I thought that was a rough grid, but on shore.

@Wendy Walker What was the winning word that you spelled?

And that smile has not changed. All we need is to photoshop in two thumbs up.

I thought the grid was tough. I didn't see the meta immediately, but at least no special knowledge is required this week.

On shore.

Now need to take another look at Fireball.
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.)
