Beach me.

I've got to stop scheduling conference calls for 4 pm - fortunately this one was straightforward enough that I can get back to my call quickly!

On the beach! G & T, once it gets late enough!!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:
