Ashore, had the answer before completing the grid as many others have already reported.
Or not? —- but we must all suppress the bad vibes of a possible pageant!

A fun time on the Friday Zoom, short but sweet! A very pleasant way to end the year.

In case anyone was wondering where all of the nice people are, the answer is right here in this muggle group! Happy New Year everyone!!
Don & Cynthia

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!

Just love that ZooMuggle crowd. Got me out of my rabbit hole and, just like that, solved it. Happily on shore.

Thanks, everyone. A Happy New Year to all!

I've convinced myself that the obvious is not our answer to the Meta, and have finally submitted my answer. I maybe overthinking it, but I feel like there lies a bit more the confirmation in the grid to my answer than simply handing it to us on a platter. I may be a 1% of incorrect answers on Monday for Mike Miller's synopsis, but Danger is my middle name. Happy Weekend everybody.
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!

I think Mr. Gaffney heard my screams from the boat for the last month and decided to show pity.

This will be fun reading. I will either be crestfallen or consoling but either way I am bookmarking Dave Danger G for Monday perusal.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.
