Without naming any names... Someone here is personally, awfully close to the subject matter.

My advise would be to take a step back, but I can't tell that person anything.

Ashore. Very elegant meta (would you expect anything different from PB?). Prosecco.

Ashore. Wife helped solve so stealing some of her Long Island Iced Tea! Nice one that I have a feeling is right up some Muggles’ alley!

Solved. But, since last week's winner submitted their entry at nearly the last minute, I'm wondering if I should wait until Sunday night, maybe around 11:55-ish, to send in my answer. Perhaps that would improve my chances of scoring that mug.

Ashore. At first I was looking for the sort of mechanism only Patrick Berry (and maybe one or two others) could pull off. Then I came to my senses.

I've always wondered how the random entry is chosen, and if submission time and or number has a "sweet spot"
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.
