Great fun. OTC although it took me way longer than it should have to get there.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Puzzle and meta solved in time for the witch, pumpkin and black cat stuff tomorrow.
Glad to see Mr. Tripe back in action. Great “I’m back” puzzle!

OTC and out to try on my Halloween witch costume.
Boy, Clark, you really know how to turn a trick into a treat. Great job on this meta. Maybe you should stick around with the Muggles and do this full time.
Bye bye now. ❤️❤️

Between the enigmatic intro and some of you nerds’ responses to that geek speak, I feel like I’ve walked into the strangest party I never wanted to go to. Speak English, y’all!! (I jest… coders and programmers make the world go ‘round, and I am grateful.). OTC with a chuckle. I could say that a different way, but why spoil the fun? Happy All Hallows E’en, young-at-heart-uns!

Alias? Oh, you mean like when my Mom gets mad and calls me by my full name - "Clark Eggbert Tripe"?

A busy day yesterday so I only got to the MMM last night but am off the couch. Awaiting confirmation.

@Clark E. Tripe Matt was disappointed that you were not on the zoom Q&A on Saturday

Yeah, unfortunately I couldn't attend that Gaffney fellow's talk on Saturday. That's the night that my Star Wars origami club meets. Maybe next time!
