"Show Them The Way" - October 9, 2020

Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's contest is titled "Show Them The Way" by Matt Gaffney
The answer to this week's contest is a three word phrase naming something parents hope their kids will avoid.

Good luck to all with the grid and the meta

and all you muggles in Delta's way, stay safe

On shore, but suspicious. Could a Matt Gaffney meta really be this simple???

I had that thought as well - But I had today off and had a 3 martini lunch so if this had been any harder I might not have been able to finish the grid let alone solve the meta.

It wasn't THAT easy (at least for me). Just kept trying different things until something worked.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

On shore with one of my fastest swims in recent memory. Thank goodness.

International break means time for our annual neighborhood socially distanced pub crawl tomorrow night. Keg Grove Duke on my tasting list.
