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!

Ashore! So happy I saw this almost right away -- not typical for me. Hoping the weather turns warmer soon, so I can enjoy a nice sour ale on my porch. Enjoy the weekend, muggles!

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is a TV show.

Long Road Ahead spreadsheet

Good luck with the grid and the meta

I may need strong nudges this week. The early odds before the meta comes out are 50-50 that I have ever heard of this TV show and 10:1 that I have never seen this TV show.

And this week we have a WLW special. Our own POE enforcer, @Wendy Walker is debuting her meta creator skills with a SSS (Sunday Summer Substitute) and a MMM (Muggle Meta Mondays). The SSS is released about 8 am Eastern and the MMM comes out early Monday mornings
