Finally ashore after a day of (too) deep diving, based on a couple "can't be coincidence" entries (but they were). Really tough meta, in my opinion, and my hat's off to the Page 1 solvers for seeing the metanism as soon as they did.

Actually ashore on a Friday? What am I going to do with my Sunday evening? (Hint...it won't be spent watching the Grammy's)
If I have solved the Puzzle,feel free to ask for a nudge. Always willing to pay it forward.

At sea. I'm exhausted from chasing rabbits. Enjoyed the Isaac shout out, though.

Great ZOOM today with a wonderful group! I realize that the zooms not only help to solve the meta, they are a cheerful end of the week experience!! Thanks everyone and have a great weekend!

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Ashore after the Zoom group pulled me back from overthinking, which had sucked me into a whirlpool.

Loved 24A. Ashore and enjoyed a Meiomi Pinot Noir with salmon and roasted vegetables. It was better drink choice than 22D with this meal.

On shore.

Haven't read the comments yet, so not sure whether anyone else has mentioned SAD. But I kinda get that feeling today. Took longer than it should have.
