Ashore!

Always amazed at the benefit of a good night’s sleep (though they can be elusive).

Good health and good solving,

On shore.
Was SAD.
Now happy.
Here’s hoping that randomness lands in a Muggle’s email inbox Monday.

Finally, finally made it to shore. Had about given up on this one, but took one final look and there it was. Whew. In honor of Dry January, I'll have an O'Douls.

On shore with a nudge. I guess I and 20-30 other muggles were burrowing down the wrong rabbit hole. Funny how our brains all think alike.

Was hoping I would solve this one in my sleep. I did not, but after looking at it for 15 minutes with a fresh head it came to me! I’m on the shore baby!!

Making my report while I still have internet--I am at sea both figuratively and literally. I haven't had a lot of time, but haven't even found a rabbit hole to WANDER through. I grew up a Hoosier so it's not like basketball hasn't been my thING. I'm at a totAL loss do far. Sitting at the ship's BAr watching the peaks and TROughs of the waves. I will continue to preSS on.

Bon voyage !
Are you sailing with Viking? I have friends who are on a cruise to Antarctica with Viking right now! My hubby and I have a cruise to South America and Antarctica booked for Jan 2023! Can’t wait!

Still at sea. I'll keep picking it up every few hours with hopes of getting the aha.

I felt hopelessly lost. I tossed so many possibilities as they turned into rabbit holes. Finally I thought "I've looked at this way - nothing. I've looked at it that way - nothing. What am I supposed to do, look at it...oh...never mind....SOLVED!"

Still at sea too! I have a few ideas but not sure they will pan out.
I would also appreciate a nudge if anyone is willing!

Still chasing wascally wabbits. No nudges needed, I will either come upon the solution or see it on Monday.
