We had strong storms in our area this weekend so I am just getting started. I am still floating around. I have doubts on the obvious and I am trying to see the unobvious. …Glad to read this Meta should be queasier than last week’s!

After a difficult grid, I think I have the first part of meta but would greatly appreciate a nudge! Unable to join zoom tonight :(

Edited: I actually just saw it - def a “Duh” moment!

Ashore. I actually got it yesterday, but was rushing out of the house and asked my wife and co-conspiritor to post - she didn't. I'll take a belated dry martini if you please.

After a couple of Fridays lost at sea, I'm happy to join the crowd on shore this weekend.

On shore for the WSJ! I'll see people at Isaac's Last Call in an hour where I could use a nudge on the Gaffney/Birnholz.

Quickly ashore, after finally getting home from spring break skiing and having a moment to do the grid. Enjoying a hot sake.

Ashore, but after much time wasted on what seemed like the obvious metanism. Better late than never.
