Finally, I CAn report that I am ashore--after three weeks of dashed hoPES. I was in the waiting room for a medical appointment and was kind of wishing they would be running late as I was just sTARting to see the metanism. And then they called my name. :( So I sLIpped the puzzle into my purse and went back. But I managed to finish while stuck waitiNG in a traffic jam on the way home.

I assume you mean the congruence of metanism and answer. I hope everyone else sees it.

Ashore!

I’ve been giving the metas short shrift recently, but this one kind of jumped out at me.

Ashore! Got to a late start after driving back from Colorado Springs this afternoon. Me and the fam spent the week down there - was our first vacation as a family of 4. Nothing like a walk through the Garden of the Gods to clear the mind before the weekly meta. Discovered a new Italian wine variety last night - Montepulciano. I remembered I liked it last night prior to the Grappa, so going to open this bottle and have a glass!

Cheers everyone!

The past few weeks have so accustomed me to breaking my brain that I feel like I must be missing something. So, I'm going to wait before sending in an answer.

In the meantime, color me ashore.

I'll have Merlot to weather the snow.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Exceedingly quick swim to shore more as soon as I finished the grid. This is my kind of puzzle!

Very cute meta-ism! On shore. The grid was a bit more of a challenge for us...

Ashore. No nice boat-loafing for me this week. Just beach-dozing.
