Make sure that you post that you on the shore for the WSJ meta this weekend so I can officially count you as a "muggle".

Welcome to the clan.

Grid is a lot of fun, but I'm the silliest goose, since I can't find what I presume is my lone error. Have the meta, but I want to see if I forage for what my one erroneous letter is (unless they're all wrong).
Less cross words, more crosswords.

A Wednesday nudge
