Must be lingering effects of overeating, no sightings, no paths, no idea. I've really only noticed one obvious fact and that leads nowhere I can see. Congratulations to all those who fought through the wine/turkey/dessert, lethargy/reflux/sleepiness to find the answer.
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! Back on a two week solving streak. I would have thought these guys would run out of ideas but they seem to be making more clever and clever puzzles as time goes on. Happy thanksgiving weekend to everyone!

Floating at sea, still blissfully full of pumpkin pie. I have a very satisfying answer to the puzzle, one which pleases me immensely and would please me even more if it turned out to be Mike Shenk's answer, but I lack any real confirmation or, indeed, any real evidence in support of it. So perhaps later today I'll delve into the second pumpkin pie (I baked two) (even saved some of the whipping cream) and look some more.

Thanks to all solvers and constructors, both pro and amateur, to make this a great site. Quite a symbiotic relationship!
I've walked away and come back a couple of times and still got nuthin'.....
Will try again later.

Ashore. Late to the beach due to an overdose of turkey tryptophan. Wishing everyone a good Black Friday.

I am thankful for all muggles, creators, and lurkers many, many of whom have become dear friends. Thank you for sharing your time, efforts, & yourselves. You make this place one of the friendliest I've known.

Thank you, too, to @MikeyG, who is offering his Pun of a Kind meta early, this week, to fill-in for the delayed MGWCC by @MattGaffney.
We will see if Matt had holiday-themed plans as did Ben, Mike, and me, haha. And, yes, @BarbaraK (who took a risk and got the 1-Across badge a couple weeks back!) had a great SSS this week, nice and breezy!

Hope you're having an amazing, restful (and puzzling!) time with family, friends, and loved ones,

Mikey G
