What's this? A two week streak? Do they serve eggnog at the tiki bar?

On shore. For real this time. Ok, I was at first wrong, but now I hope you'll allow me a few beers.

On shore, but really under snow. I won't put my toes in it, I prefer to avoid frostbite.

...resisting urge to commit bad humor and include spoiler.

Happy Hanukkah to those that celebrate.

What do you mean you guys have submitted? I can't even find the dang thing. Where is it?
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Ashore. Stress free. They are always nice puzzles when the answer jumps out at you.

Ashore. Grid was a little tough. Meta not so much. Still a nice diversion.

HOORAY after some really awkward swimming and rowing over the past few weeks, finally now back on the shore. Very fun path to get there with this Gaffney puzzle. Time for a Great Lakes Christmas Ale to get the season started merry and bright.
