I couldn’t care less *where* on the board I am, just happy in those RARE INSTANCES when I am.

I quickly figured out the mechanism last week but never found the path. Probably should have looked at that one longer. I tend to cut bait and run pretty quickly. (Would never have gotten Mike’s cross country.)

Waiting for the beamer. My wife spotted the mechanism, and, as a beer lover, I tapped the keg quickly. Cheers!

EDIT: Beamed up at #478! A lot of fun, Matt!

Ooops. I saw your post this afternoon and thought there was going to be another zoom today. Since I always enjoy the muggle zooms, I came to the party but nobody showed up! Of course, I never know what day it is, anyway. :)

A little surprised that you didn't bump into me because I often wander into empty rooms, forget what I came for and leave again. :P

Got it. She was working in a topless place, and I stopped in for a beer. I just kept looking at the side of her face, in the spotlight so clear.

But she never escaped my mind and I just grew
Tangled up in blue.

One of his best.

And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn.
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on like a bird that flew.
Tangled up in blue
