Ashore. That's like, more than 1 in a row!

Someone mentioned Carnac earlier. This one has to be in the top ten of funniest things ever on TV.

Just got to it today and took 1 hour 15 minutes to make it to shore. Solid page 4 if only I started on time. Had Long Island Iced Teas with dinner. Gaffney makes you work for it!

When I first read that, I thought you were saying you had to call Mr. Gaffney. Man, @ELSavage is connected! :)

On shore! Intuitive swim!

Made beer cheese dip with a non-alcoholic IPA tonight. Will finish the rest of that.
Whatever 12 ounces minus 2/3 of a cup is. 6 2/3 ounces, I guess?

Unrelated but also related, we nearly watched Inside Out 2 tonight, by complete coincidence.

Oooh and look at that! it's my 100th post! Feels like yesterday we were simply commenting in the WSJ comment section. Weird.

Ashore! What a great puzzle :) Now I can get back to cooking the lamb for Kate’s delayed Mother’s Day dinner…. Here you can see her VIP lounge which Caspar creates every year (including plushy security guards). All I have to do is top up the champagne every 30 minutes….

Made it on shore this morning. All credit to Kasia, who was determined to solve before I could take a long look at it.
