I don't know if my answer is right but I have spent enough time to justify it so I have jumped ship and am looking for Bunny with my pretzels

Embarrassed by some of the convoluted rabbit holes I attempted. 🙄

I must be on the wrong ship this week or in dry dock somewhere as just not getting the answer. Haven't given up yet!

I have been staring at this since yesterday and think I may be firmly planted in a rabbit hole from which I cannot escape. So, for now, happily with our Cruise Director and Isaac. Not a bad place to be and we have AC!!!

Got it, finally. Went down a few rabbit holes but managed to climb out and refresh my thinking.

Nice construction.

Just having an Arnold Palmer now. Maybe an IPA later.

Got the meta while less than halfway through the grid. Enjoying the beach.

Well, I see now why some found the meta easy and others were, unfortunately, like me. Now that I've washed up on the beach, I think I'll go bang my head against that palm over there.......grid was hard but fun!

Oops. Turns out my rabbit holes led me right where I needed to go. Sorry, Bob, but I’m leaving you in Isaac’s capable hands. I picked up your tab😁🍸 . On shore.

Oh, boy! I way overthought this one! I finished the grid pretty quickly, but I was definitely making the meta way harder than it was. Glad to be safely on shore!

Great feelings of pride should go with the love at that achievement for both of you , Bob. And to our other muggles who have reached that milestone. We celebrated ours last October. I got red roses from our garden, and he got his favorite meat loaf dinner. Fortunately the Red Sox didn’t interfere- the season being over...

Oh no!! Looks like the dog ate my meta homework so I’ll have to go to Isaac’s bar to copy it over. ( and finish it, truth be told) No good work light back at the stern garden- must get OSHA on that.
