Well, I guess I have to go running, now. I have step one, but don't see the answer, yet. Maybe I'll just wait for my daily walk in the morning, and see if that will do the trick.

Well this beach is filling up fast! I think this resonated with LOTS of people. and I believe Matt has tossed us a Christmas Present (though Lord knows what 12/24 is going to be like!!!). I'm glad all of the Muggles are finding their way to shore and hope that this season finds everyone in good health, both physically and mentally.

On shore, I'm almost certain. Feels like something is missing, and yet this has to be it.

I’ve come ashore on a winter day. Thanks Matt.
We needed that!
It’s for sure that into each life some winter must fall. I’m surely missing those 16A, but I still feel the thrill looking out my kitchen window at this view of the bones of the garden, no matter the season.

A smooth boat ride led to a rare (for me) Thursday night shore landing.

I'm on the shore. The Chiefs won in overtime. I cracked open a bottle of Boulevard Hold the Pancakes. Life is good.

Ashore. Another Matt Gaffney classic meta. Excellent construction.

I'm safely ashore - had to do it without printing while I'm away from home. Skiing at Mammoth.

Onshore and impressed, as always, with the construction.
