On shore, waiting for noon to pop open a beer. Thanks Zoom Muggles & Don (ship4U).

Oh for heaven's sake.....I hit all around what I was supposed to do but could not make it to shore. I needed someone to tell me that I was WAY overthinking and why. I am embarrassed to say that I finally got it with that help so of course will not submit. However, I will have to read the rabbit hole stories because I have one that may be in contention.
I will wait to demonstrate my ignorance....

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

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

I shouldn't have said slow! It just felt like it took ages, while I was wondering if I would see anything at all or if it would be another week on the ship for me! I'm just glad to be on the beach :-)

Made it to shore, albeit bedraggled. These last 4 weeks of contest puzzles have required mental METAmucil! A challenging stretch.

Still in the soup. I can see that I must abandon this hole that I have become so comfortable with but cannot take any further. I'll pick it back up during Astros/Braves game and maybe a beer will readjust my thinking.

Grid solved Friday and I think I have the answer after the Friday Zoom, but I might be in a life raft or down a rabbit hole. Time will tell!

If you are ever up near Buffalo, NY, I would highly recommend visiting Letchworth State Park, also known as "The Grand Canyon of the East." We visited several years ago whilst on a trip to East Aurora to see The Roycroft establishment (we are avid Arts & Crafts fans). The State Park was originally the property of William Prior Letchworth who, in 1859, called it "The Glen Iris" and hired a noted landscape architect to develop it. He bequeathed the estate to New York in 1906.

Got patiently dragged onto shore. Very cool meta this week, but a little above my pay grade! I won’t submit the answer this week, but I’m eagerly waiting for the next one.

Nope.
Nothing.
Last week my first wild guess was actually the answer, but I forgot to enter.
This time my wild guess may be right as well. I'll send it in Sunday if I can't solve this...and it doesn't look good.

Been there. Stayed at the Glen Iris Inn. Lovely place. Highly recommended as well.ship4u wrote: ↑Sat Aug 20, 2022 4:50 pm If you are ever up near Buffalo, NY, I would highly recommend visiting Letchworth State Park, also known as "The Grand Canyon of the East."

If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Now ashore thanks to a gentle nudge from @ship4u! I’ll have mine shaken, not stirred!

Reporting in to say I'm still on the ship. Did the grid with the kids on zoom last night, but found nothing by the time they had had enough of zoom time with dad and signed off. Drove back from shore vaca today and jumped on MGWCC. Should have stayed on WSJ, as it's due tomorrow.
Also because I'm stuck on MGWCC too. Alas, it's been a month of relative thick-headedness. (And I'm not referring to my brother, there.) Makes me wonder if those days of long solve-streaks are gone forever. Perchance a drink will help? Isaac, pour me a strong one and let me tell you my meta-troubles. You are such a good listener. I feel you actually care about my troubles...

I'll echo that recommendation! When it comes to the liquid nitrogen treatment, been there, done that. Many times. A few years back I had mohs surgery on my face, followed by some additional surgery to fix up the mess. I showed my kids a photo of my face immediately after, with stitches running along a scar that started at the inside corner of my eye, ran down along my nose, and continued down to the corner of my mouth. Not pretty!
I will spare all of you the horror, and me the embarrassment, that would result from my posting that photo.
But it does remind me of the Mary Schmich essay in the Chicago Tribune.
