Ashore - just in time for Matt’s Friday and this afternoon’s Zoom. I’ll alert the Rabbit.

On the beach! Very rarely my first instinct pays off, but this one did.

Spring break on shore today! Nice way to spend part of a day off basking in the sun. I think I’ll try a Guinness today!

Licking my wounds from UVA's debacle, a bracket with far too many red marks, and getting nowhere on this meta.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

DUH - it took a whack on the side of the head to get to shore. And the shore was very close to home.

Just got to this one, and I'm now on shore.

Happy St. Patty's Day, everyone! I think I'll have a "Guinness"! :D

On shore! Coming to you from March Madness. Child swimming at DIII NCAA champs and the pool happens to be adjacent to the Greensboro Coliseum hosting round one. I don’t even care about basketball but it’s pretty cool to be here. These kids are giving everything they’ve got.

A pretty good weekend for my wife and me: one of us is ashore (me), and both our alma maters did well in the brackets...Princeton for her and Penn State for me.

Ashore with certainty.

I guess we're all Irish today so I'll have myself an Irish Coffee and a lovely scone!

Ashore. Count me among those who were slowed down by an inelegance in the construction.

McShore with a shamrock shake. I guess if you focus on the right things it makes simple sense. Thanks @BarbaraK yet again!

Thanks to the Zoom team I am ashore. I went down two deep rabbit holes that the team steered me away from. Found a sloppy mistake I made then solved.
