you'll get there, I'm confident.

Thanks! You are more sanguine than I am. My (non-Muggle) brother's meant-to-be-encouraging comment: "Tenacity is your friend!"

Wendy. Movies are not my thing at all and I solved it. Just think about it like any other meta.

I'm lost at sea as well.

One of those where I had the mechanism after the first theme entry, and that doesn’t happen often.

not a record but well within acceptable range

Was flailing. And as a movie buff, I knew I'd kick myself... But then, there it was! On shore.

You don't know how much self constraint it has taken for me not to post one of 1,000 GIF's in response to this.

That’s how I won my mug - via email submission.

1. Phew! I got it, after a LOT of Googling.
2. Whoever recommended "Halt and Catch Fire" a few months ago, THANK YOU. We are really enjoying it!
3. Apropos of nothing, here is a backyard shot from my new trail cam!

Ashore.

Took awhile since I was helping my daughter study for her factoring test. Really can't give her a good reason why you need to know the difference of cubes formula.

Anyway I'm ashore!

Ashore with a glass of fresh Hopslam.

Ashore! Haven't decided what beer to celebrate with yet.

Bob,
You make me laugh, which I really appreciate. You have 1,000 GIF's which you look at, but feel awkward about posting. I’m intrigued.

I started emailing in my answer because I was growing skeptical they looked at the form submissions on the site! I often wish they would send an automated confirmation email after you submit so that when I don't win the mug for the umpteenth time I'll know it at least wasn't because my submission didn't go through.
