Ashore, and after three fruitless weeks already I fear the Rabbit may have to file for unemployment.

Late start but quick tender ride to the beach. Needed lots of google, both for the grid fill and after, but this was a smooth one outside of that. Speaking of smooth… A Glenfiddich, maybe? On ice… it’s warm here today!
The other Wendy. :roll:

Ashore ... and searching for a toehold amid the sandy throng. Beer me, all the same.

In the desert (vacationing in Santa Fe) but on the beach. Heading to Geronimo for dinner tonight, which from what I hear is the best restaurant in the area (and a 2 block walk from our house). I'll wait to see what the drink menu has to offer before deciding on a celebratory cocktail.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

One of the benefits of Chicago traffic is that I was able to solve the grid and meta on the ride home!

Not really in my wheelhouse, but luckily the first idea I had turned out to be the right one.

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, solved and submitted. I was just about to switch to a different task when I saw it.
