Wow. I have the excuse of a matinee play today, but looks like there was cut-throat competition to make page 1.

Nice pix. I searched Google Images for "plumber's friend," but none of them looked like you.

Forget "Bananas" and "Mary Hartman." This was obviously the high point of her career. (She wasn't in it for the money. Her father was J.K. Lasser, the guy who wrote the tax book.)

Late start (had to get the mowing done before heading out for the weekend), but happy to be back in the saddle after being flummoxed last week. Happy Easter!

Genius. Nice when it's not an obvious simple puzzle but you get to the shore in 5 seconds...

Damn. That is one satisfying aha moment! Like someone implied earlier, nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing BAM THERE IT IS
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Ashore 🏝️! Definitely had a hard time with the grid since I was without my better half. Nice way to start the long weekend.

On the shore. G&T to come later tonight!
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D

On shore. After being totally stumped last week to end my streak, this one came quickly.
