On shore! Doing a scaled-down Thanksgiving for 3, but the smallest turkey I could find was 16.5 lbs., so. Leftovers!

Well first it wasn’t published. Then we had a Puzzazz but no pdf. Then I had to have dinner. Then I got the front desk at the hotel to print the pdf. Then I realized when I got to the room that something was off with their printer and the letters all run together. So I did the grid in the WSJ app. OMG that was painful. Now I have copied it to the paper where I cannot read the clues. I certainly hope the meta is as easy as you all say!

Solved. I’ll just leave it at that. I hope the Omni can get their printer issues rectified before noon tomorrow!

On the beach enjoying the one apple cider cocktail that we didn't get around to making earlier. I had one small WIndow where I couLD work on the puzzle. But the puzzle was late, everyone else up woke up from their naps, and my attention reTURned to family. Another window of time appeared, I struggled through the grid, then quickly found the KEY to the meta. Now waiting to zoom with the kids.

Happy Thanksgiving to all--this muggle community is one of many things that I am thankful for!
