Good afternoon, Muggles!
@Bob cruise director and steadfast backup
@Wendy Walker are busy enjoying their turkey right now so I'm filling in.
BLACK FRIDAY | By Mike Shenk
The answer to this week’s contest crossword is

Black Friday spreadsheet
Perhaps those of us who aren't napping off tryptophan right now (I'll be feasting tomorrow because of extended family work schedules) will have a drumstick up on page one.

Am I the first ashore??
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Figures. I get on page 1 when I exploit mugglers inertia around Thanksgiving and Christmas. But I will take it. Some malbec with my turkey, cabana senorita.
