Finally got a chance to do the puzzle. Count me ashore! I'm taking care of my 92 year old mother who fell and broke her shoulder and pelvis, so I wasn't even sure I would have time for the grid. Luckily she naps a lot. And, I think she'll be fine in a few weeks. Waiting for the PT to come. Hope they can get her to walk. My back is sore from lifting her all the time.
If you don't hear from me, Happy Holidays to all!

Ashore! I was chasing rabbits until discussing with my husband. In no time he was on the right path. Thank you to Bob for keeping track of us and wishing you all a joyful season.

Heidi - best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday. I know how difficult it is, and I hope your mom is on the mend soon!

As a side note, this week I was wondering if we have muggles from all 50 states (and DC). In looking through what I have, I could confirm muggles in all states except: Alaska, Arizona, Alabama, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah and Washington state.
I am sure that I have missed muggles from these states but let me know.
As a side note, we have muggles in Ontario and Switzerland. Not sure if there are any other countries that people live in.
Mug winner from Nebraska here. I don't post much, but do my fair share of stalking.

Finally on shore. I'll have a Guinness, if there's any left. On a side note, here's some advice: No one ever won a 100 yard dash by throwing hurdles in front of himself. Or herself. Ok, me.

Well, if it takes Al 24 hours, I might not have any hope at all! All I seem to see are 6D (from today's NYT puzzle).

Wow. Done and finally done. Had I gone with my off the wall guess, I would have been right!

Gonna have to sleep on this one. The grid came smoothly, but I'm just not in the right place to tackle the meta.

Adrift on one of our beautiful Idaho rivers. Floating by a lot of rabbit holes hoping to snag a branch and make it to shore...

Best wishes for a fast recovery for your mom (and your back)! Is she interested in these puzzles too?
