Don't want to seem like a grouch but what is with these overly trivial and obvious puzzles this year? I thought last week was the easiest I had ever done but this one was even easier.

On shore - and it's warm here for a change, so something cool from the bar would be nice; surprise me!

Grand Marshal of the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Key figure in the opening of the Irish Cultural Center. Long time contributor to the local Irish community.Bob cruise director wrote: Thu Feb 17, 2022 4:03 pm
And congratulations to Al Sisti on being the Grand Marshall of the Utica New York (AEIOUY) St. Patrick's Day Parade.
And he is not just a pretty face. Here is the writeup in the Utica paper. A very well deserved honor
Alex Sisti, described as a key figure in the opening of the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley, was announced as the parade's next grand marshal Saturday.
...
Besides his work with the Irish Cultural Center, Sisti also served as a committee member of the Great American Irish Festival from its inception, even chairing trash-pickup.
"Al, through his efforts, has given back to our area in many ways, especially for our Irish community,"former Grand Marshal Patrick Costello said in the announcement. "In fact, it would be hard to think of any Irish initiative in the past 20 years that Al did not have a role in."
...
AND he likes Guinness? What a surprise...

Count me ashore. Slow on the uptake, but quick swim to shore.

Wait.... is the answer a 10 letter word or a major World City? If it's major world City that changes everything.

On shore ... and awestruck to sip in the shadow of Al Sisti. What a wonderful honor for an equally delightful soul.

On shore. I enjoyed it.
Patrick Berry's WSJ puzzles are never that hard. At least it was more difficult that last week's. As I was filling out the grid I had a pretty good idea where it was going, but didn't know for sure until I actually started on the meta.
