My trip to the shore proved light, inoffensive, and over too quickly, rather like this glass of rosé.

Got it! Ashore!! Fun one. Hot toddy tonight. It’s cold and windy and snowy in the central mountains of Idaho.
Good luck to all.

Ashore! Rabbits were pulling me under (didn’t know they could swim) but my meta-buddy EVJ tossed me a lifeLine. Time for a scotch!

“I hope I get mugged,
‘Cause I’m back at the beach,”
(Words stated by all of the muggles.)

The words don’t make sense
To them not in the know,
Those bereft of the metadom struggles.

But I know it’s true,
And yes, so do you—
Those whom the weekly puzzle adore.

Here’s another you’ll get:
Only those here will say,
“No Kas 5’s, please, I’ll take the Kas 4!!”

Ashore. Why have dinner conversation with the wife when you can solve the Meta? It take two sometimes.

Ashore! I think I'm starting to get the hang of these things.

Let's go Blues (to save my bracket)!
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

Skipped last week, had a good time. Best to all the wizards.
You can do it!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Let’s go to the beach, beach, let’s go get a wave
They say what they gonna say
Have a drink, clink, found the Bud Light

It’s great to be back with my toes in the sand!

Quick trip ashore this week, with just a few bumps on the way. Fun meta with a novel (to me) twist.

Looks like the beach will get crowded by the weekend.
