On shore! I love this little puzzle. A perfect snack for happy hour and a great weekend ahead. Make mine a margarita on the rocks please.

Looking forward to retirement 6/30/24 for several reasons. One is the ability to join more of the Friday calls!

Done and done, although it was a slow slog through the SW corner.

Usually, when I see the parentheses, I say "I'm screwed", but not this time.

I'm thinking that it's been so long that I solved one of these things, that Mike threw me one I can solve quickly in an attempt to renew my interest. Mission accomplished!

Ashore 2 weeks in a row! Guess Isaac can spend his time taking inventory or doing a deep clean of the bar, LOL!

I find myself on a beach, hoping that there isn't a Pageant going on anywhere...

Made it. Took longer than it should have since I’m out of practice. Ah well.

Ashore. Had all the theme answers quickly but it was a challenge to complete the entire grid.
I generally get a pit in my stomach when I see the numbers in parentheses, but in this case it wasn’t a problem at all.

Saw the 1st part immediately but the second took me forever. I’m chalking it up to the time difference. Anyway, je suis à la plage!
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Like everyone else, ashore. The grid was much harder than the meta. Blanton's tonight!
