This week's contest is titled "Deal Breaker" by Mike Shenk

The answer to this week's contest is an anagram of a grid answer

Good luck with the grid and the meta

WSJCC Deal Breaker spreadsheet

p.s. the Friday report may be a little late again this week.

On shore after having to resubscribe!

Here's a Pool Boy update:

Our James likes to make the drinks fizzy,
And bubbles can make the guests dizzy,
Or is it the fella
Who adds an umbrella
To each drink who serves up the tizzy?

Our one guest, libidinous Lizzy,
Just muttered, “He isn’t gay, is he?”
Well, one thing’s for certain:
His love life ain’t hurtin’!
And he’s at his best when he’s busy!

I'm on shore after some slight missteps, despite big-time jet lag.

Ashore. Clever.

BTW, if there are any folks on here who are residents of Rapid City, SD - or have spent a lot of time there - a private message would be appreciated. Heading there next week with two of my boys for 4 days, and trying to plan our visit. Thanks!
