I'm done with these. If they were trying to scare away solvers, they've done it.

I'm right there with you! What time is good for you, Wendy (and anyone else who wants to join)?
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I will never again complain that these are too easy.

Solved. And definitely not as hard as I seemed to make it. Stick with it.

I’m on the beach, still spitting out sea water. I’ve got seaweed in my hair. The cabana boy is looking at me and trying hard not to explode into laughter. He's so tactful.

I spy ... another weekend of banging my head on the bar in frustration while Isaac tries to console me with various tropical drinks with little umbrellas in them.

I have tunneled myself so deeply into an enticing little rabbit hole--but it can't be right because there is no way that I can get what I think must be the last letter. @whimsy could you please find Mr. McGregor so that he can put me and Peter Rabbit out of our misery!

I am almost sure I'm on shore! Not as confident as I normally am, but I'm pretty sure.

All who want to join one of our Zoom Group Solves, please tune in at 8 p.m. EST this evening! Just click the "Muggle Zoom Room" icon at the top of this page. ALL are welcome! We really do have fun. And c'mon, what else are you doing on the Friday before Thanksgiving, anyway -- you don't even have the Week 3 MGWCC to work on yet!
