Wow - finish the work day and cook supper before solving, and you gotta walk to the far end to find a spot for your beach chair! Toes in sand; looking for the cabana boy.
The other Wendy. :roll:

Very clever puzzle by Matt, so Gaffney-esque.

On my way to Ireland tomorrow for my son’s destination wedding. First stop Dublin and will take a tour of Guinness on Monday!

It's boring to be on page 5, just saying ASHORE.
Let me add a fun fact: The reason I knew the answer to 52D is because I'm actually in the movie.

I hope it's not a spoiler...

agreed, 100%!! if you have time, i'd also highly recommend the museum of natural history. and the oscar wilde memorial sculpture in merrion square park is..... not *not* a little bit off-putting... but definitely still worth seeing (and maybe only particularly off-putting to someone who's easily weirded out by like, a leery-ish grin...? idk.... but once you see it this disclaimer will seem reasonable lol).

On shore, and enjoying a local favorite: New Trail Crisp Lager. That was a delightful puzzle...and that was one creamy and delicious pour, Joe Ross.

Dementia approaches. I cannot recall when so much of the grid was blank to me. Dementia approaches. Have I said so yet?
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

@Nlobb Wait until you see how they pour Guiness in Ireland. If they do it right it takes about 5 minutes.
