On shore! Clever. I suspect this won't be nearly as controversial as last week's.

On shore. After three weeks of nerve-wracking, thank you 'Marie Kelly' for a breather.

Done and done, with a minor nit.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Made it to shore! It would be sooo squeezy for a muggle to drop an inadvertent spoiler on this one!

Have an answer, but will let it sit for a day or three. Multiple choices. One resonates, but not sure if where I looked next is correct. Defendable, but obscure-ish. The answer will pop in due time!

Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, this weekend! Ein Dunkel, bitte!

Done. Nice one. Happy to be ashore but sort of wish Iโ€™d had a glass of wine with Isaac.

Absolutely no idea, per usual. Good luck for those that got the in-joke on getting a mug!

On shore. Done too soon, but there is MGWCC tomorrow and Westchester County Crossword Puzzle Tournament tomorrow night to look forward to. If you're in the NYC / CT area and interested, see the thread in the Lounge.
