Ashore!! Fun one… I actually guessed the solution with the 8 letter clue and the theme!!! I’ll have a summit brew from Minnesota!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

Ashore, really enjoyed it (while watching the Heels winning the first of their next 5 games). Pisco sour, actually make it 2.

I’m on shore. And once again impressed with Matt’s ability to notice things and then figure out how to turn them into great metas.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Ashore! Beautiful.

It’s already been an exciting day as my grad school alma mater, Duquesne, continued their unlikely run in the men’s tournament. Now to cheer on my undergrad alma mater, Tennessee. Go Dukes and Vols!

Ashore! 🏖️ It was a gradual process to puzzle it out, but fortunately it didn't take too long for me to notice something and pursue it.

Holy cow. Got it on a Thursday evening. Rats…no excuse for avoiding all those backyard type things I’ve got to do this weekend.
