Had a decent night's sleep that ended at 4 am local time and it all came quickly into focus. So I'm on shore literally and figuratively on a holiday in Waikiki.

Keb Mo is playing at the Blue Note this weekend. If you like that style of music I highly recommend it.

Ashore. Time for on line Bridge Tournament the rest of the weekend. Looking like a kas 1, my favorite kind.
Off to a dance so I’ll be downing light beer.

Stay well all
Just saw this. Wow am I embarrassed. I had no idea that would be viewed in that way. I am soooooooo sorry everyone. Have never done that before.
No worries. We’ve all been there. I did a post that ended up on the forum when it should have been a PM!

Bob,

Count me on board with Isaac. Between seasonal lawn/garden cleanup and the extra homework my PT has been assigning me, time to spend on the puzzle has decreased. Grid is done and printed out. I'll begin looking for the clues tonight.
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

If you lived near MaineMarge, you could have a buffalo in your house real soon. This herd escaped from their pasture just 1 mile from me this week. No trace of them now.

how do you hide a herd of buffalo?
So I originally misread this as "how do you hide IN a herd of buffalo?" and my mind immediately went to this earworm:

Make room for my wife and me. We have made it to shore after a leisurely swim.

Ashore.

Wow. I just looked at the site here, and there are 12 pages already! Hope that means the beach is crowded with happy solvers.

Nice puzzle. Fun metanism.

Top off my Riesling, please. Family with a 5 year old and a 2 year old visiting our Pocono getaway this weekend. Wine may be the only getaway...

Ashore! Took a rabbit-hole pruning nudge to set me right...

But can we take a moment to hoist a glass in recognition of all those muggles who artfully construct AHA-preserving nudges? It's a largely unseen phenomenon, but so many of you are so good at it, and it does take some creativity and care.

Cheers to you all!

Ashore on this beautiful Friday evening! I was so happy when my glimmer of an idea just kept making sense all the way through to a final solution. Yippee!!
