Page 6? Are you kidding? Anyway ashore. Relied on hosts to print meta. Not a valid excuse just what I am sticking too.

Marion and I are on shore with what will be quite a few, I expect. Good luck to all - China awaits!

I guess I'm ashore. Wondering if it could be so easy, but looking through the thread I'll go with what I have. Have a great holiday everyone!

I’m ashore and look forward to a nice cold glass of Pinot Grigio later this evening. I do believe it is a well-known singer! I never know what to expect when I see a “well-known” hint.

Okay... crowded beach.... I'll have a Gin and Tonic, what? You're out? Then a bourbon and coke? Oh, you're out of that too? What beers on tap do you have? Oh... Okay what do you have? ... Okay I'll have warm water out of a garden hose that has been sitting in the sun all day.

(Don't over think this... Not that anyone will....)
So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.

My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

Very quick swim to shore. Would have posted earlier if I had gotten home in time to work the puzzle as soon as it came out.
