I take a bunch of screenshots and combined the best of each person.

Onshore. Took 45 minutes to do the grid, but the meta only took 10. Fun one!

I think I’ve got it but there’s one bit of inelegance that bugs me.
Edit: ooohhhh. That’s exceedingly clever.

Ashore for the first time in a month or so without a nudge. I guess this one was more in my wheelhouse!

"Fracking"... is that a Battlestar Galactica reference?

Meta didn't exactly jump off the page, but it eventually crystallized. Answer has enough of a connection for me.
After I got all dressed up, you missed my Zoom screenshot? I was there for at least two minutes!

The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Three things:
1. Ashore. Dazed and amazed.
2. Pour me somethin' tall and strong, because there was no way I was solving that grid without Mr. G. What a head-banger.
3. 39A. When did that happen? Did it hurt?

For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

On shore - and agree that this time the grid took longer than the meta.

Sorry - I was so dazzled by your appearance, I forgot to get one. Could you wear the suit and tie on Tuesday and I will get one.

Thanks, Bob. The Rays are not doing very well, but your Red Sox are below us in the standings. Perhaps not a season to remember.

I enjoyed this grid. Lots of cleverness. My favorites were 1A, plus 67A and 49D.
Not really sure why I knew what to do to get the meta, but I did. I'm onshore.
And in the real world, I wanted to try something different with sweet potatoes for dinner and wondered if Hasselback would work as well with them as with regular potatoes. The answer is yes. Yummy and pretty.

Finally got it. My Yankees have started off hot, which probably means that the season will be cancelled.

Onshore I guess. First 2 steps of meta are clear, but answer doesn't relate much.

Kay--I love your cactus flower picture. We have a big cactus garden in a canyon adjacent to our house.
