Very late trip ashore...I have a sick little one who just went to sleep.

I'm going to have a Sazerac today, I feel like I've earned it!

Ashore after a couple weeks of struggling. I came home late from work and saw my laptop on my desk and thought, "I never finished the meta!" Then I realized it was Thursday and there was a new one to work on. It's been one of those years already.

Guinness time!

Speaking of Kas, this one is very nearly Kas-1. But I’m ashore and calling it Kas-3. And wondering what I’m going to do all weekend now.

If only there were some other metas available... 😉

Count me ashore. A fine Pilsner, if you please.

After a very late start on a difficult day, and rather to my surprise, I find myself ashore!
