Just got back to my desk having overshot the zoom time by an hour and 1/2. :cry:

I think I'm halfway and will reach out for a final nudge.

On the beach, meta fell into place once I wrote down the letters on paper.
Martini, please, one anchovy olive looking up and a twist of lemon.

Perhaps website etiquette will allow me to say that the meta was "Annie from Cincinnati".
Actually, Annie was an aerobics instructor who could kick your ass and she went to Xavier ...

Late to it, but ashore with nary a glance towards Isaac. Enjoying a Lion’s Tail from the cabana boy - for starters!

I’m ashore, but I had trouble interpreting [REDACTED]

I hope this doesn’t violate the no helpful hints rule.

Happy tax week, friends.

Finally dragged ashore with much appreciation from a nudge from the ever helpful @Wendy Walker

I had looked at the methodology and dismissed it on Thursday night.

Ashore!

It's been a long time since I've felt the warm sands beneath my feet.

(Now I just need to find a place to put out my lounger and umbrella. (it's pretty crowded here already...)
