I'll bet Mr. Gaffney decided to make some changes.

Kinda humorous -- there are currently 91 people on the Board right now. Clearly, none of us have a life.

Off topic while we wait: here's the recipe for the Best of Show winner in our agricultural fair. Judging was this morning.

Rosemary Shortbread

2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 Tbl fresh rosemary finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter cut in chunks
2 tsp dark honey

Heat over to 325

In a food processor (or blender) pulse together the flour, sugar, rosemary, and salt

In a mixer (or food processor) add the butter, honey, and all dry ingredients. Mix until crumbly but don’t over mix. Dough should not be smooth.

Press a heaping teaspoon of dough into a mini muffin tin.

Bake about 12 min or until the edges brown slightly
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I have been able to access the puzzle using the crossword fiend across lite links. Title is Back Nine, it's a Patrick Berry construction.

As I'm sitting in the hotel lobby waiting --and waiting--for the puzzle to drop, I keep seeing footage about the hurricane in Florida. My thoughts and prayers go out to our Muggles (and others) dealing with this disaster.

Across Lite is available at https://tinyurl.com/weeklymeta. Title is Back Nine. Hint is "The answer to this week's contest crossword is a term related to golf."

And FTR, onshore.
