Finally stumbled ashore (with a substantial twinge of uncertainty), after flirting with too many rabbits. Monday is denouement day....

I followed some rabbit holes myself. Keep looking! And tell me about your lovely dog!

Don’t know if it was Isaac’s hug or that huge glass of wine, but I’m ASHORE.
My beach hat’s off to you Mr. Gaffney.

On shore!! 🏝 time for cocktail!!
Last night we went to a new bar in town called “Birds of a Feather” and I had one of their signature drinks ( the hummingbird) in a unique glass!!! ( see photo). Maybe I’ll make another here at home. ( fresh squeezed blood orange juice, vodka, and Prosecco)

Great to see so many familiar smiling Muggle faces on the Zoom, and great to be ashore! Since it's finally above freezing today, I think it's about time to crack a refreshing IPA and stick my toes in the sand.. err, snow.

Made it to shore -- a little bit of a false start but got back on track. Another wonder of creativity from Matt. Homemade sangria has been in the fridge and now it's ready to be tasted.

The zoom room is always open. Post here when you want to meet, and it's highly likely others will join you.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Another fun zoom meeting! Thanks everyone for getting together. So much to learn and so little time....... :)
Don & Cynthia

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Safely ashore! I thought I had it but wasn't 100% sure and wanted confirmation, which I got from a very fun zoom solve group. Always fun! It's going to get icy here with possible wintery stuff falling tonight. I think Kailua in hot chocolate would be nice, Issac. Have a fabulous weekend, Muggles!!!

Her name is Bella. She's 11 and basically sleeps all day. And she is zero help on the Metas.

Ashore...I think..I hope. Had to run through it a couple of times to get a two-word phrase. Anyways, it's 5:30, time for dinner, and I'm as done as I'm going to be. Awaiting the Bomb Cyclone.

A SHIPBOARD LAMENT

This week’s meta has caused some confusion.
See: My head is just one big contusion,
And it feels like my brain
Has gone right down the drain,
And I’m going to need a transfusion.

This dread Mike-Matt-and-Patrick collusion
Is enough to make me get my booze on.
Tell me: If they’re so clever,
Then why don’t they endeavor
To cure cancer or bring out cold fusion?


I'm always empathetic, even when I've solved (#32)!

Thanks to the muggle zoom room, I realized I had already solved; I just didn't know it. I'm ashore.
