Sadly, I'm still on the ship. Hopefully, my metavision will come into focus after a good night's sleep.

Ashore! We’re on the Bourbon Trail right now, so I really don’t need anything further from the cabana boy… cheers, all!

Today is All Fool's Day, which also happens to be my birthday. Some say it is quite appropriate..... :)

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Ashore!!! Been stuck on the ship for 6 weeks. Thought this puzzle would be another link chaining me to my bar chair, but woo-hoo! finally got it.
I'll just be enjoying the sand for a while. Libations later.

Ashore! Solved the grid thu nite (w/help from a few barley pops) and then got to the contest answer this AM after reading some posts and realizing my initial thoughts on the matter were no good! Time to go to the Aces!

Good Saturday morning muggles.

A fun challenge from Mr. Shenk but muggles were up to it with a constant stream of tenders getting from the ship to the shore since Thursday afternoon.

As a result we have 4 keeping Isaac company and 186 on the shore. It is great to read about the AHA moments after taking a walk, getting a good night sleep, having coffee or a sip of your favorite beverage.

It is also great to see the dedication of muggles, posting from around the world having solved the meta on hand drawn grids, preprinted grids that are filled in with dark squares and having grids printed from hotel desks.

And we welcome our newest muggles - Dickie_Dunn and Randyiscrazy (as we all are).

Made it ON SHORE yesterday while driving from NC to Williamsburg, VA for a reunion with good friends from college days at William and Mary. I'm having so much fun spending time with everyone and eating (and drinking) way more than usual, that I haven't even had a moment to read everyone's comments. Hopefully I can catch up with all the wonderful MUGgle news tomorrow afternoon on the drive home.

I solved the grid yesterday but couldn't make any sense of it. Looked at it with fresh eyes today and now I'm ashore.

Ashore! Told my husband the basement was flooding and when he came charging into the basement yelled, "April Fools!" He was not amused.

On shore! The title led me into far too many rabbit holes, before I climbed out and took a fresh look.
