Are you then going out to dinner without any puzzle this week?
Most definitely!!

On shore, but not ecstatic with the answer. The puzzle throws out a plausible answer, but I can easily see a pageant situation. I also have something else to rip Mike on.

Logged on to say that I had jumped off the deck and was dog-paddling toward the beach, but after reading the comments think I'll be treading water for a while. . .

No red herrings to be seen on my trip to shore. I'm an inveterate over-thinker, but no extra shiny objects today.

Finished grid, assembled clues. I either am missing some or have extra. If I ignore what I think is a valid clue, I have a good answer. I will stay on the ship for now and continue my education on drinks.

Got the grid, see some clues.

If it's the school I think it is, I'm not an alumn, but my wife is.

second review - might be a bunny I'm following, more later

I came up with an answer, but like others I'm not entirely happy with it, so I'll be hanging out with Isaac for a while.

Same here, though I noticed after an even greater delay.

Will be at Isaac's bar until I can do this one in the morning paper. I have something that I'm pretty sure of, but...
Martini, please!
