Count us ashore, and *this* time I know we have the answer. (I don't want to embarrass myself with the total whiff that was last weeks....)

Yay! We solved a Gaffney. Yay! It was on a Thursday night.

Have a safe weekend all you fellow Muggles. :-)

Did anyone else assume that it would be about James Joyce literature?

Cruising with Bob to a beach.
One that's pretty close to Hoboken, the Joisey sho-ah and Jimmy Hoffa.

Don't know what made me think of this. Too many re-runs of The Sopranos and that show with Snooki?
Q: How is New Jersey like the Vatican?

Ashore 🏖️ I usually fly through the grid, but this was a bit of a slog.

I'm ashore. I love it when it all falls into place very quickly. Which is pretty rare for me.

Onshore after some initial befuddlement. The speed with which Page 1 filled up convinced me that I must have been overthinking it.

That was my first thought. I was rather pleased to discover otherwise.
