Ashore! If I'm on page one it must be about to snow here in South Carolina.

Ashore4us! Holy cow! Page one! This was right up my alley and the best we have ever done. Thank you Mr. Shenk!

I think that a toast of Prosecco is in order.

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