Dear me... that took me longer to see than it should have! I was all over the place initially, but finally it revealed itself. Happy to be ashore though! It's been a while for me between travelling and what I consider to be the hardest Meta I've attempted in last week's puzzle. So apologies to others on the beach, as I've grown pale bellied up at Isaac's bar all this time. I'll take a Isolation Ale this week, rounding the corner into Christmas. And I'll couple that with the home-made nog I've made for our annual Christmas party this weekend. If only Denver's weather would cooperate with the season!
Hope to see you all on the Zoom tomorrow! If that doesn't happen! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah!

Oh, and GO BRONCOS!
If you see me on the beach, feel free to pm for a nudge. After all the help I’ve got, I am happy to send it forward when I can!

The answer jumped out after a bit of floundering. Ashore but torn - Nog? Manhattan? Both?

Anyway, Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!

On shore and submitted! See you on the zoom call!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

According to the WSJ, your request is becoming more difficult. Due to popularity, Guinness is becoming difficult to get!! :)

A late start but ashore. The Rabbit is grateful for the 68A clue as he will be posting one of his favorite videos on Monday.

Just got home from our favorite pub -- just doing my part to help the local economy -- and am now on shore. Good stuff.

Very late start for me, but 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.

Oh. Good. Lord.

Ashore. It's too cold to have a Guinness so I'll have a Penguinness.
