Fun! Somehow saw it faster than usual. Thought I might have a shot at page 1! But I am pleased with a personal record anyway. Now, about that drink... How about a Sam Adams Oktoberfest to cool off on a hot Denver Sept afternoon. Second summer in full effect today
If you see me on the beach, feel free to pm for a nudge. After all the help I’ve got, I am happy to send it forward when I can!

Nice to see our trusty bartender at 35A. Too bad I won’t be hanging out at his bar. Diet Coke please.

I'm pretty proud of myself on this one! Sorry, 35 across, I am on the beach. Luckily it's only windy on the east coast of Florida!

Page 2!

It was still page one when I started. But ashore. I thought that was ... not difficult....

But 35A? That's an obscure bit of trivia no-one can possibly remember.

I'll have 2 ounces of tequila, 1/2 ounce of annisette, 1/8 ounce of creme de cassis, and six ounces of Squirt (Grapefruit flavored soda) served in a tumbler glass over ice. (Clever name to be derived later.)
