We're all just walking each other home.

I ain't often right
But I've never been wrong
It seldom turns out the way
It does in the song
Once in a while
You get shown the light
In the strangest of places
If you look at it right

LOL. I quoted the same lyric before I saw yours. May your words always glow with the gold of sunshine!

I know that feeling well.
A similar feeling regarding MGWCC - 12:00 PM is 7:00 PM here. Shabbat usually started by then. I know it's in the inbox but it's gotta wait the extra day until I can look at it!
Shavua tov!

Finally made it to the beach! I knew where i wanted to go for the meta, but the first path ended in the bilges. I persisted, and still wound up there. Was giving it my last chance this morning, and there it was. So nice to be off the ship. It's been a few weeks and i'm enjoying the sand between my toes.

Does this come with English subtitles?

Not really. Hard to translate hippy into English. Ken Kesey tried with limited success.

And Sgt. Joe Friday was even worse. Dig....

Loved the Cameo from Ted Olsen of Police Squad.

Man, once in a while the local sports show (which is really good about not being a bunch of meatheads) gets to talk to Bill Walton and he’s always a trip. I wish I could just call him up and listen to him ramble for an hour. Heck, I’d pay for that. 976-LSD-BILL.

And Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln!

Dead shows in the 80's?

I thought you looked familiar!

Solved Friday, but only got around to posting now. I tried early to backsolve into a different 5-letter adjective, but the better answer became apparent pretty quickly.

Yes. "Commodore now on Beach." Far out.

Oh, my, does this conversation about "Be Here Now" take me back a few years! My copy was so beat up that I hardly recognized the actual new, untorn, unwrinkled cover that Commodore posted. Cool graphics but even in those impressionable years I realized the text could have used a good copy editor. My high-school boyfriend gave me a copy for Christmas in 1975 (didn't it cost something like $3.33?) and I passed it along to a deserving young friend in 2006 or thereabouts.

The backcourt is a league in competition with the pros with teams like Sbarro, Cinnabon, Panda Express, etc. Oh wait, no. That's the food court.

Bird, this made Mark laugh out loud at breakfast and continue chuckling off and on all day Saturday! Thanks for that!

This will likely be the end of our streak as our daughter, whose insight and teamwork has unlocked every meta while she’s been living with us for the past few months, is leaving the country tomorrow for a year. Waaah! Expecting to be with Isaac 75% of the time from now on.

Hang with us. I am sure you are more capable than you give your credit for. Besides your daughter can get the puzzle via internet

Yes, good advice!! Love to work on puzzle with my daughter, too , when she visits. She is often the one who figures out the meta for me! ... but when she’s at home, she does her own puzzle and we discuss via FaceTime or text! Next best thing!

Speaking of Scarlet Begonias, mine nearly succumbed to a white, powdery fungus, but months of care with a fungicide oil brought them back from their near death experience!

On shore at last. Sometimes knowledge of the subject is a barrier. I should have relied on Google instead of my memory but it finally clicked.
Bloody Mary to celebrate this Sunday morning arrival!

What a trip to shore!
No aid from 42-D.
Extra coffee helped

After a long swim, I'm finally on shore -- thanks to a nudge! ⛱

Good Sunday afternoon muggles.

Good luck to all winning the mug

Having coffee this morning with Isaac, trying to put in practice the advice of the way to get out of a hole is to first stop digging.

Lost at sea. I could sure use a nudge.

If you can remember the Dead shows you went to, you didn't do it right.
