Wanted to wait for page two to say I won't be making page one! Hopefully some page before Sunday......

Update: tentively ashore. Have an answer I can justify but with reservations. Anyway all I risk is a mug and possibility for fame and fortune.

Can't force inspiration. I always try and ... well, I did once but in general.... It's just weird that I can't see anything yet.

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

Ashore. Took me much longer than it should have.

On Naboo. Finally... after passing through what seemed like a black hole. Geesh!

Still eerily quiet, except for the whirring sounds of the droid at the tiki bar. Looks like he's concocting a blend of something with Pamplemousse, lime juice and Creme de Violette. :o

Mariana Trench. I don't know why I keep doing these. They remind me of struggling for partial credit on my engineering exams.

Ashore, after bashing my head against it for an hour, going for a walk, sitting down again, and immediately thinking "hmm, what if..." My feet are so much smarter than my brain!
I'll have a cafe au lait, please.

At sea with Isaac.

We did a quick vote of those in the bar - of between Isaac and me, who had the best mustache?

Isaac won 26-0

Made it to shore, but it wasn’t a smooth trip.

I have an answer that has to be right, but one part of the puzzle makes me think it’s not right, but it has to be right because it just works so well, unless it doesn’t. Guess I gotta wait till Monday to find out.

Have not yet solved, but the even more important news is that my beloved cat Tina (you know her from the Zoom calls) is back home, muddy but safe and sound, after her two-day Grand Adventure outdoors!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!
