Well that’s just dandy, hope you have both handy. Are you sitting on the beach getting sandy while listening to Manilow’s Mandy?
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

On shore this Friday morning as I was playing golf Thursday afternoon into the evening on a beautiful sunny day in Alabama.

Safely ashore with a cup of coffee. However, this evening is martini night...

Going to be crowded on the beach this weekend. Plus with a week 1 of MGWCC it looks like I can get some word done around the house.

Put it all together this morning and I am now on shore. Someone told me a Greyhound is a good morning cocktail. Send the waiter my way.

Take care!

Ashore! Quick solve on the grid and meta. This would be a good one to recommend to new meta solvers to build confidence.

I'm ashore. Another very challenging grid for me. Meta mechanism clicked this morning but still needed google to get all the way there.

Gosh, Dr. Tom, you missed one rhyme I thought you'd include for sure!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker!

Isn’t it awesome? I don’t know why it’s so satisfying but it is! Congrats!
