And on shore. I was actually on shore last night, but could not submit online. Yes, yes, I know I could send an email, but I have a routine!! I must click SUBMIT!!!

So, after work today I opened another browser, filled the grid with D in every space (no, no particular reason for D) and then I could finally submit.

I’m solved. But had to do in my subconscious mind! Very clever!

I've got an answer and it really has to be right but I can't help but feel like it's wrong...

On shore! I have to admit, that as things open up more post-Covid, I am not spending as much time on the Fri meta. Need to find my balance again!

On shore. I had trouble submitting with Chrome, so sent an email. I mention this because others had the same problem.

My doves fledged on Tuesday, I cleaned out the nest box and mom is already back for the next round. Nature!
My son and daughter-in-law sent a video of their doves flying to their railing. They are now empty nesters. However, they do NOT want a second batch in their bike helmet, so they took it down.

Didn’t quite get it right away. Fumbled in parsing the first step and that caused me to check out a few rabbit holes.

Took a nap, walked away for a bit, and then it came to me.

I’m on shore now. Going to enjoy a Connecticut’sown Litchfield Distillery whiskey.

Ashore.

Cute one. I like the "Aha" in this one.

No celebratory drink this week. Just got vaccine #2 this week and I'm letting it do its thing before I celebrate. Might not have to abstain if I hadn't been "drowning my sorrows" during the pandemic. ;)

Good thing we finished the crossword contest. Haven't figured out the MMMM due to work being horrifically busy. And I have to work all this weekend all. Which means I'll do my taxes.... when?

Got a late start this week because I was traveling - I think I have it but could use a check if someone is willing.

Our neighbor is a photographer and his mother was a classical pianist. He has put together a series of 6 short films combining his mother playing along with sunset shots taken from his balcony overlooking the Mediterranean in Mallorca.

Thank your neighbor for me. I don't know which I appreciate more - the piano because I tried and am miserable at so I am in awe of those who can or the photography because I can and appreciate the ability and creativity of those who take great pictures.
