I think I’ve got it. 🏝
Oh did I fail and feel so bad about taking up valuable page one real estate. Kudos to Beth A. I’m still working on this one. 😳

Got it. 🧉

On the beach. Wow, page 1! Gin and tonic, on the rocks, with a twist of lime, please.
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:

I am not going to lie. This makes me very suspicious.

I only noticed this was page one, after I posted.

Can't believe I'm on Page 1 (not to mention Top 10) at almost 6:30. On Shore after a tough slog to the beach. New streak begins after last week's whiff. I'll see what the specials are at dinner tonight before deciding on a potable.

EDIT: Cocktail ended up being a Thorn & Rabbit: rye, amaro, and maple. Smooth and tasty.

On the beach! With a little help from friendly Muggles. The cabana boy is reviewing his hurricane websites. He will spend the next 5 months wondering if we are in the cone.
