I haven’t started yet. But there is breaking news in the meta world. I have won an MGWCC monthly prize. It only took 110 weeks. Anybody want to take me to Vegas with them now?

Good to have a nice 'n' straightforward solve after some hard ones recently.

Congratulations. Did Matt read these comments and make sure you won?

Done and done. Let the foamy goodness pour. It's 5 o'clock "somewhere," and very nearly so here in the sunny East.

Ashore. Quickly. Which is nice, because I'm way stuck on MMMM.

I thought I posted, but apparently not. I’m on the beach sending a big Woohoo! to Cindy.

On the beach - bring me one of Al's select Guinness - poured like they do in Ireland so it takes three minutes
And congratulations Cindy
P.S. thank you Mrs. Spinelli

Nice to have a puzzle that's more in my area of interest.
But is anyone else worried that this was too easy? Makes me wish again for difficulty ratings. If this were advertised as an MGWCC week 1, I'd have no doubt that I'm done. Week 3? Then there'd have to be another step.
Congratulations, Cindy!!

I wish everyone rotated difficulties like MGWCC, except on a different schedule so that it's not all easy ones or all hard ones at the same time of the month.

Barbara - I don't think we are being pageanted. For those of us who are not so inclined, I had to rely heavily on a magic web site
