On a plane to Detroit, and also on shore. I know the perfect album to pick a song from for my Crossword Fiend writeup.

Late start. Quickly to shore.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

On shore. Took some shaking of the little grey cells

And life is good. Golf courses are open, driving ranges are open and Sox are undefeated!!

Fun! Ashore. Between the early solve, MLB Opening Day, and the sweet 16, I couldn’t ask for a better day. Beer me!

I didn't make page 1, but page 4 is very good for me. I had some experience with this meta in a previous job.

On the beach! Solved in the train on my way to a PD event for Applied Computing. How about a shot of Ouzo once I'm home?
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D
