No...

The wife came home for lunch and said "Let's play the bird game" and when the wife says "Let's play the bird game" we play the bird game. (At least, not unless I can say "I'm just two minutes from solving this puzzle...." which... as it turns out I could have said but at the time I didn't know I could say it.)
The bird game? As that what we call "it" these days?

Ashore! Had it practically solved last night, but one piece was missing. Then I saw something and back-solved to find my error. A rare Friday solve for me.

Hmmmph. Not the first time I've snagged a rudder on 24-A.

You know it when you get it, but oh did we ever make it hard on ourselves. There is a very alluring rabbit - we chased him for quite a while and had a lot of fun, but when he finally keeled over, we went back to where we had gone astray. So we are happily on shore.

Looking forward to the Monday commentary, because there is a little wrinkle that I want to chat about!

I interpreted that as meaning there was no Hope.

Strange to be on shore and see so many people holding snow shovels.

Advance word is that you'll be hearing about similar landings from the midwestern contingent next Thursday....
