On the beach. Alas, very cold here and a foot of snow heading our way. Imagination will need to be working in overdrive.

Got it, with some effort, nice to be on the beach, and nice to see an "easter egg" that Matt put in there for us.

Hi Adam!
Glad to be joining you on shore. Hoping the snow skips us on its way to you.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Toes in the sand, Guinness in hand… ain’t life grand?
Edit: Not feeling really confident with this one all of a sudden. I know what he wanted, but I think I missed the answer he wanted.

On the beach! The cabana boy had to replace his speedo with a sweatsuit. Too cold! I made an error and didn’t realize it for several minutes……but then everything worked out OK.
