Ashore! Struggled with this grid awhile. Perhaps a glass of Malbec at dinner tonight.

Anyone else having trouble with doing it on line and the clues column fading out (as though we are only seeing the start of a story behind a paywall)? Irritating!


Not seeing it but had a great idea when I saw the title but apparently is not it.

EDIT: Hmm. my idea wasn't too off actually.

Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Saw it finally. Ashore as well. Even knowing all the answers, I can’t fill the grid in 5 minutes. Lol. Gin & tonic sounds good, please.

Ashore. Y'all enjoy the beach. I'm going to curl up over here under a blanket with a Dubliner Honeycomb for my throat and some new books on the mother tongue.

Yes, same trouble. Had to open the PDF to see the 69A and 63D clues. Others in the puzzle's comments reported the same. The WSJ puzzle is the only one I've had so many odd issues with.

Two in a row. Duckhorn Sav Blanc for me.

Must be a scheduling error over at the wsj puzzle desk.

George Burns birthday was this week. Read one of his jokes on his birthday. It was about the hazards of getting old (which beats the alternative):

First you forget peoples' names
Then you forget peoples' faces
Then you forget to zip up your fly
Then you forget to unzip it

Happy Australia day tomorrow!

Ashore! I had so many ideas on this one just by trying to parse the title. Finally saw the right things.

Great puzzle! Vodka martini with two olives, please!!
