Ashore thanks to the Zoom Room crew.
I was blind and now I see.
It was a great opportunity to review Braille.

Ashore from attending the Zoom meeting. I like the creativity but had 0% chance of solving based on what was given.

I feel a lot less self conscious now that I have read how many folks are, or were, as lost as I am. On vacation with family so unlikely to spend any more time. Long ago gave up on being a great solver.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

Ashore.

I didn't have time to puzzle over the meta this week and I'm glad that I didn't because there is no way I'd have figured it out! Thanks zoomers!

On shore and very grateful to the Zoom crew for throwing me a life preserver. I would've never gotten it without help.

Very much at sea. Hope that being at an actual beach this weekend will inspire me. May be needing a nudge as we close in on Sunday night!

I’m on shore until some one tells me my credentials are not valid.
And I am buying for everyone who agrees with me!

Reporting in from Isaac's bar. Kids and I did the grid. (First session in a month due to my vacation!) But came up with nothing. Well, saw lots of things, but nothing promising. Didn't follow any far enough for a good rabbit-hole-tale.

I have a guess though, and there is some support for it in the grid. But no metanism yet. (Backsolving almost never works for me.) So I'll keep mulling it over.

Speaking of which... Isaac! Have any mulled wine? Oh, forget the mulling and just give me the wine.

Lost at sea for now (and yesterday) but given the likelihood of success based on recent posts, I’m sure I’ll drag ashore soon. Can’t wait for that cold one.

Ashore! I joined the zoom just long enough to set my course. Finally, 5 hours later I made landfall.
It was a *%#*&@ but I enjoyed the Aha in the end.
Thank you Zoomers!!
