Finally finsihed the grid; had the meta Thu night - that rarely happens.

A well-travelled man,
I went from city to town,
Ending at the beach!
One world. One planet. One future.

Careful, it's addictive! :D
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Looking forward to retirement 6/30/24 for several reasons. One is the ability to join more of the Friday calls!
That first morning of retirement, when you take the first sip of your morning beverage, is absolute ambrosia! Congrats and enjoy.

I can't believe I solved another puzzle. That's like 3! just a little pour of westland single malt. I'm so blessed to have this honor.

On shore a little late as Friday was my 54th birthday. Great day including a boat trip at Zushi marina.

Bid farewell to houseguests last night, just finished grid (oof!) this morning. Now, a dull look in my eyes, nine-o'clock shadow stubbling my chin, I'm Isaac-hanging. Must be (echo zulu) with all those Muggles on the beach. We'll see.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

It seemed to have hedpel to be a little bit cross-eyed this morning. I think I should have a little more of what we were having last night, if only I could remember what it was.

Ashore.

As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all — the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.

And the tenders continue to bring muggles to shore in addition to making sure that the tiki bars are stocked. We now have 253 on the shore.
