Oh dear… I need a semi-firm nudge please someone? I feel I am so close, but I’ve been staring at it for two days and my eyes and rabbit holes are crisscrossing! (And in my gut I think I know the answer but I can’t seem to reverse-engineer it!)

Cold outside, Isaac's bar is warm. Guess I'll stay here for a bit. Chased 3 different rabbits so far, two of which seemed promising but ran out of juice, with no charging stations in sight.
My next step is to print out a clean PDF and start anew. No rush, though, I like being where it's warm.
UPDATE: Back out in the cold. I feel so close or so way off. I have 4/5 letters. So aggravating. Gonna have a cabernet and cigar anyway.

Step one found quickly, step two found me Alice-ing down a rabbit hole. Will keep looking.
EDIT: On shore.

Ashore! Thanks to some help from the Zoom call. Definitely should have gotten the first step earlier… oh well. Non-alchoholic Guinness for me..

Confirmed with the Zoom crowd that I was on the right track and then quickly found the solution. Even though I am missing a piece of the puzzle, I am certain of my answer. Great to see everyone on Zoom - Happy New Year to Muggles everywhere! I wish I was on a real beach, instead of nursing the RSV virus on our virtual one.

Zoomed to the finish, finally! Rabbits galore, and needed a rope lowered by my muggly friends to get me out. Not submitting but still relieved to exit this one! Happy New Year, all!!
