On shore, after an unscheduled phone call (at puzzle time!) from an important friend from whom I hadn't heard in a while. Everyone is doing well (enough), it seems!

Wow, three pages filled up in an hour! Instead of saying "ashore", I'll say "present" as this is more of a roll call.

I thought I was clever seeing the theme early, but didn't get any benefit from it.

I guess there's really no pleasing me. It's either too easy or too hard. It's either disappointing because I "saw" it right away or super-frustrating because I see nothing at all.....and one Muggle after another solves

Today was a "saw it right away day". Solved

Ashore. I tried to make it hard, but, after a "pause" I saw the easy solution.

Okay, so I was a bit late downloading the puzzle, but … AWTEW … I just dog-paddled lazily ashore … 🙂.

On the beach 🏝

Watching the Phoenix Open from home for the second year in a row. I had attended at least one round for about 20 years until Covid.

I am ashore. I was busy baking COOkies or I would have gotten here sooner. But a PERSon's got to do what she HAs to do. This was on the easy side for me, but I won't squaWK about that as it balances out some of the fiendish ones.

Ashore. Kind of unsatisfying TBH.
