The smarter half of Team Canuck
Has ended up with all the luck.
I called her, and I asked if she
Had solved it yet. She said, "Mais oui.
Et toi?" she asked. I said, "I'm stuck."

I'm not yet desperate enough to ask her for a nudge.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

On shore.

And I'm going to start drinking more Guinness to see if I can approach Al's solve times.

I’m stuck, too. Thinking about sending in “glue” as my four-letter word of explanation.

Wow that course is harder to follow than his “lightning” META. Go Will!
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Still on the ship pondering the obvious basics, but I've no idea about the metanism.

I hope we get to hear about this race on Tuesday - I haven’t heard of Adventure Racing before and look forward to hearing more about it.

Our Cherokee Chief Dogwood is in full bloom. We live in an area of outstanding architectural beauty, but there is not a lot of distance between neighbors. The best solution is to maximize the setting with choice plantings.

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Swimming aimlessly, then suddenly on the shore! Amazing how the answer just suddenly opens up sometimes!
