On the beach! Went down several rabbit holes but finally had my Aha Moment.

Ashore with a nudge. Some people might object to crucial parts in this one --the misdirection that calls your attention to something irrelevant, the heavy disguising of the most important element. But some people ain't me.

For the first time in quite a while, I was home at 4:30 on a Friday and got to go to the zoom. What a great group! And so much bigger than the usual Sunday crowd.

Like Eric, I had noticed something important, and like Eric I had not seen anything useful to do with it until the zoom. On shore now.

I was the one who provided the final piece of the puzzle in the chat, but I didn't think it was relevant to the meta until some people who had solved saw what I wrote.

I'm ashore. And unlike last week, I think I'm actually right!

I am not ashore. I'm not even sure I am on the boat, so much as dog-paddling in a sea of meta cluelessness, is what I'm saying.

You know where I like to hang out on Friday nights? A rabbit hole, that’s where. I am generating plenty of unfinished business for Isaac. I just wish he would stop rolling his eyes every time I tell him (between sips) that this *must* be significant.

Need a gentle nudge, thought I had something, but another rabbit hole.

It will be interesting to hear what all of you are finding to support your view that you have the answer. As I said on page three, I do believe I have the answer -- it is incomprehensible if I do not -- but I can find absolutely nothing to support this other than the obvious certainty that this is the answer. I will eat this mother of all rabbits if I am wrong: please use pumpkin or cocoanut-cream pie if you wish to splatter my face in that case. But I hope that those of you who have found confirmation of the answer (assuming you have the same absoultely dead certain answer I have) will describe those confirmations on Monday. (Please no private message before then.)

Thanks to the zoom call this afternoon, I was able to take what I already had and finish things off in time to get the perfectly baked meatloaf out of the oven for dinner!

Quietly sitting with Isaac and a light Aperol spritzer. Print comments are interesting this week. Really want to get this one on my own so I’ll pass on nudges. Still have 2 days to go!

Ashore!

Though I wasn’t just nudged, I was shoved!

I will NOT be submitted for mug consideration this week. I’m not deserving!

INTRIGUED! I can’t imagine someone stumbling upon this one without the key. I predict a rabbit hole award in your future!

Finally got it! Woo-hoo. Thought this was another one that was way beyond my thought processes but an aha moment of looking at it! Love to be on the beach!

I predict he noticed something and got the correct answer but just hasn’t quite realized why yet.

Isaac, good man, reach down to the bottom shelf and pull my mug off.
Fill it with anything from the top shelf, sir. Yes, to the brim. Could be 'ere a while.
