March meta coming in like a lamb. Kind of looking forward to lions again.

Well I am pretty sure I solved it, it really could be few other things. BUT, I have a small nit to pick with the constructor because there is the possibility of some momentary reluctance to commit.

But I'm going to say, for the sake of counting and because I submitted, ASHORE

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Ashore and happy. Had trouble seeing what you all were seeing then the aha came. Pretty challenging grid I thought.

Stay well all

As great as it is to make it ashore if is even better to get your first covid vaccine dose! I was at "my" pharmacy picking up my scrips. I asked the tech about getting on a waiting list. The pharmacist overheard and said they had one dose from a no-show and did I want it since they hadn't heard back from anyone they had called. Of course I did!

Reading all the comments, apparently I should have seen it sooner, too. Sadly, I haven't seen it yet. Hoping for post-enlightenment.

On shore. Warm in Houston today. Got the pool ready for spring break, still trimming back dead plants, and planting new ones. A long ways to go.

Safely ashore again this week. Grid and meta both not too easy, not too hard. Celebrating tonight with a pour of E H Taylor small batch bourbon.

Will celebrate with a Black Negroni this weekend. I was not familiar with "Negroni" so I had to look it up. Just looking at the two words; it appears to be repetitive and redundant.

Must be nice - as a healthy person under 50 here in Florida my doctor told me that he said my best case is Labor Day but wouldn't be shocked if I had to wait until 2022.

Nice one. Hard to break a sweat on the WSJCC recently.
Shenk is sure to end our easy streak next week in any case.
How's that go: March comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion. Or is it the other way around?

made it to shore at about 5 pm CT

as noted on page 1, yes, it feels like it's still February. That water was bracingly cold. But now I'll have ... something cold.

I appear to have caused some consternation among my fellow muggles. I do NOT think this meta contains a trap or is some trick, I just had an issue with a word that momentarily made me think there might have been more. I seriously do not think there was and am sorry if I caused any angst. But as I said today in the hospital when a patient threw a bottle of high potency Omega 3 capsules at me, at least the wounds were super fish oil. :D
