On shore, after paddling around since last Thursday.
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

On the (soon to be very crowded) shore. Does Matt have an in-between speed? I give him a 1 for this one, but we never get his others, which seem like 3 or 4 (or 5+). (I'm still thinking it was tub thumping...) How about a Level 2 difficulty sometime?

Ending my dry January with a Rosita this weekend.

Stay safe all. Happy Valentines Day!

Ashore, I think? Doesn't feel super satisfying

It's been a little while since my last go, but I found my way back to the beach!

Oh, I'd have been really mad if I missed this one. I actually struggled and then I did something that my wife always tells me to do but I don't....anyway I believe I am headed for shore. I've been making my Cacciavites (the drink I came up with, essentially a screwdriver with Campari - thus the Italian word for screwdriver) and I've grown fond of them so I think I'll celebrate tomorrow with one of those (its way too late to celebrate with one now).
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

Ashore with the crowd. Easy does it. Back to Super Bowl props. Handicapping the coin toss.

You laugh, but crafty bettors made money for years when the coin they used was weighted towards heads, favoring tails.

Beached several hours ago, used the "submit" feature on the website, hope it brings me luck.

Not planning to spend any time watching the Superb Owl. Meh.

Isaac will probably miss me, unlike this week’s can’t-miss.

Could be a record setter.

Ashore.
Listen up! Can you hear the silence?
The garden is sleeping peacefully under all this snow.

Ashore. Took me longer than it should have because I had filled the grid without reading all the clues.

I heard that given the tendencies of these two coaches, it's basically a lock that the team winning the coin toss will defer. Its -500, so you have to bet $5 to win $1, but still...
