How are you feeling about that assumption, Doc?

Ashore! Forehead slapper, this. Have a wonderful 2024, everyone! May all your troubles be in puzzle form.

My understanding is that Matt Miller of the WSJ will reply to the winning e-mail, so no information is needed in the message body.

Be warned: heartbreak awaits. :)
Excellent. Thanks for that.

Ashore! I had a fun time solving with my daughter and son-in-law who are here to ring in the new year with us.

Still on the Ship

No headway towards a satisfying answer even though I'm working with a few (or a few hundred) of what I imagine are the right pieces.
Hoping not to tumble completely into the drink.

Ashore. Landed on an answer after a million rabbit holes. Not entirely sure it's correct, but good enough. Go Panthers and Go Bills. HAZY IPAs PLEASE!

I am unfortunately still on the ship. I think I have a good first step, but just can’t quite put it all together.

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!🥂

Had nothing yesterday, then got it right away this morning. On shore with a coffee. Happy New Year to all!

Still at sea. See many possibilities but nothing coming together yet. Ever hopeful for the AHA moment.

It has been a plague-stricken holiday, with virtually all of the family going down on that 2-5 day flu, but we had a blast anyway and definitely had time to tackle this clever little beauty. All done and dusted - and even a quiet moment to report in.

Finally ashore. ⛱️ A friendly nudge assured me I was on the right track and not in a rabbit hole.
Happy New Year to all my fellow muggles and their families!

Wondering if anyone else out there has it.
@Plymouthrock Not to discourage you but I got the Covid cough after my bout in September 2022. 15 months later I still am using throat lozenges especially after I have been talking for a couple of hours like at a party. The doctor says "good luck".
I am so sorry to hear. I am big believer in azithromycin for
My COVID cases. I wonder if a wee bit of a steroid or this antibiotic would help long after the fact. Maybe Dr Tom has a suggestion for you.

Been traveling for the holidays, so I came to this WSJ - and the past couple weeks of metas - late. Been working Isaac’s cocktail menu as time permits, but time to send a lifeline or two out. Quite the party on the beach - I want some of that!

Here I am on Sunday afternoon, still chasing rabbits. Elmer Fudd is assisting.

Happy New Year! May the mug be ever in your favor!
