Ashore. Now I get to root for the Rams without having to worry about making the midnight deadline.

I’ll have a Screwdriver with Grey Goose.

Got Wordle today on try number 2! That’s the first time that’s happened.

I wondered if anyone ever gets the wordle on try 2. I am always happy to get it on the 3rd row like today.
But then, I was happy to solve the meta on a Thursday on page 6!!!

Im ashore. A little easy this week, but I dragged it out as much as I could. Did the grid last night and ignored the meta until this afternoon,

First one in several weeks for me. And it took me a whole day. Usually I either get them or I don't.

I got a bit lucky. The second and fourth letters were in the correct spot on try number 1. And the other three letters were common, and not in the ultimate word. So there were only a handful of words it could have been and I guessed correctly on try number two. I had about a 20% chance of getting it and came up with the right one.

I'm ashore! Made it harder than it was for a bit there. Pretty simple one (based on the fact that I got to the bar).

I'm dumb again. Any nudges? I'll blame it on the vertigo I've had for two days.
