Ashore, but only after repeated pique turn en passé. Top of page 12, at least it's not Sunday at the 11th hour.

Anxiously awaiting tomorrow's reveal from Isaac's. I've got multiple pdf's with multiple color-coded rabbit holes utilizing highlighters, colored pencils, and good-old fashioned black pen.... here's a semi-basketball term: "Taking the L on this one". Buckling down for the ice storm that should be starting in an hour or so, makes for a good looking sunrise though.

We got outplayed in all three phases of the game and outcoached.

We should all publish our multicolored, marked up pdf's for humor. It was amazing on the zoom call how many different rabbit holes we all went down - both individually and as a group. It provided a lot of comic relief for those who had the answer.

Ashore.
Probably took longer than it should have.
Amazing how you don't see it until you do.

Ashore. Denise and I are happy to be back -- metas are a cold weather sport for us. We made it ashore last week too but did not update the board.

We are open to nudges if anyone is willing to share. We don't have any fruitful beginnings to share despite the many rabbit holes we went down.

Well, we're on "a" shore, but the waters were rough, and not sure where we really ended up.....

but we are doing better at staying with it through the entire weekend, so there's that!

Also among those LAS. Rabbit hole is an understatement. Happy Sunday, Muggles.

Ashore! This one was tricky. Needed a nudge from mom, ergcat, but glad to finally get it.

Made it to shore after a much needed nudge...or two. Clever puzzle!
