Quick one this week. Didn't even have time to order from Isaac.

On the Beach, Guinness Time.

Safely ashore, basking in the sun (on that beach and in Upstate New York). Guinness me please?

Done and done
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Well, that was a quick one - bad day to be 15 minutes late to the party! Will be a busy shore this weekend for sure.

On shore!

The title ("ending") and answer description (self-referencing crossword contests) have me worried that this is the last crossword contest and I missed the memo?

On Naboo. And just in time to catch a special appearance of the reunited Max Rebo Band. Looks like there's going to be a big beach party ... Hey cabana boy, fetch me one of those Jamaican rum-chile liquer-hibiscus cocktails, and one for my Escape Artist friend! 8-)

On the beach. Nice to be on page 1. The cabana boy is trying to get rid of leftover Halloween candy, so help yourself. I guess dunking a Snickers bar in a pint of Guinness is probably an act of heresy, so don’t do that. Those Guinness drinkers can be loud and opinionated!
