Got it after a few wrong submissions. I'd be happy not to see another list of Paul Simon songs!!

Ditto, here. Funny, I had told myself earlier that I should [do nudge 2]. Wish I'd listened! Nice click anyway.

Thanks for the puzzle, Peter! I should have said that in my original post - I was in a hurry when I wrote this morning, but that’s no excuse for bad manners on my part.

Wow! I am so dense. Still struggled after all three nudges but finally made it. My favorite part of the experience was that nudge#1 pointed to the answer in two different ways.

As advertised SAD! Off the couch with help I'm afraid. I gotta tell you I had a great entry for the Guffman "Rabbit Hole" forum, it took a lot of bending and twisting and involves reading the meta directions and then completely discarding them for a bright shiny object/
Anyway, per usual, a satisfying and unmistakable answer. I do wonder about the changed prompt though - we may need more explanation on that for the complete tie in.
Oh, told you I'd post my process and rabbit holes...

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!

I wouldn't. But I'd say "I'll buy that on a t-shirt" for encouragement and think I mean it, and then when you make the tee-shirt I'll say "Hey, that's great! I'll take one if you have any extra laying around", and when I see you're web site selling them I'll think "oh, I should buy one to support my friend" but then get side-tracked and frustrated at typing in the 12 digits of my credit card while holding the card with small print at on focal length and looking at my screen at another and thinking "wow, have you really ever thought about your fingers when they type numbers" and eventually not doing anything, but I will say "It's great that you did that! It's a great shirt".

Well good t-shirt maybe, but THIS is the one I saw that I thought, "Gotta have it"

Sadly I'm still on the couch but I'm enjoying all the Paul Simon songs that are floating through my mind

Dragged off the couch with patient nudging from Peter. Sheesh. i probably should not be doing any work this week where observing the obvious is important. That’s how plans are submitted with a bathroom that is gorgeous but lacks a toilet, or a bedroom has no door.. . Not that I’ve ever done those things.
The other Wendy.

It isn't exact, but it reminds me of the Naples Florida Pier - my favorite beach spot.

Solved without the nudges, and in week 2 time (or maybe 1.5). Fun puzzle, thanks.
