Sentence written by WLW in annual joint Christmas letter: "A highlight of Wendy's year was winning the Wall Street Journal crossword puzzle competition."
The final product, as amended by Mark: "A highlight of Wendy's year was winning a crossword puzzle competition. The coveted prize was a coffee mug. Her name was selected in a random drawing."
He keeps me grounded! <3
That's just downright unfair! When I won back in April I waited til the next Friday's puzzle announcing me as the winner came out. I then proudly sent the PDF around to family and friends stating; "This is not the first time my name has appeared in the WSJ, but it is definitely the sweetest!"
Yes it's a random drawing, but it's also karma. The crossword gods are looking out for you! Say it loud and say it proud, you are a CROSSWORD CHAMPION!

On shore! Can't relate to that title because I am a night owl who gets a burst of energy and productivity around 9 pm!
The title doesn't specify AM/PM. Perhaps you are in bed by 9AM? (At any rate, 9PM is 2100.)
On shore. Got this one quicker than I normally do - I think being a constructor expediated the process a bit. Make it another Moscow mule for me tonight!

Well, that took FAR longer than I wish it had. But it is so satisfying to be on shore after having, and I kid you not, 37 inches of snow fall on my town the other night.
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.
