edit: Puzzle upload fail and I'm late for work. Files sent to BMac/Al for uploading.

Out and about at the moment, but I have the puzzles and will upload them when I get home, shortly before noon Eastern.

What??? Work??? Peter, you need to RETIRE. The puzzling world needs your full attention!

Ok try it now--- no promises!

(Edit: All the links seem to be working--- and back to work for me!)

It looks like a hard one!

uh oh

Pretty sure I have it. Close enough. Do we have to wait until he gets home from work and checks his messages?
Confirmed. Lovely meta.

I can spare a few minutes during lunch break, and yes, you've got it. So at least I know it's solvable...

Solved. Another work of art by Peter. Thanks for taking the time to construct it.

Have an answer. Not sure if its correct. Doesn't seem to be in the right category.

Stared at the grid for an hour or so — following a few rabbit holes, and finding nothing — then suddenly saw what to do in a matter of seconds. A very nice aha.

Some amusing clues, too.

Nice work, Peter!

Off the couch. As others have said, very funny and clever!

Thanks, Peter!

Off the couch... loved it!!

Update (7:38 my time): my first guess was wrong, so I slumped back to the couch. Second attempt was correct, so OTC...

Off the couch. Neat puzzle.

Solved.

Not sure where you live but here on the east coast we're in EDT :-p

(Sorry the pedant in me couldn't resist.)

Oh and I'm still lost at sea floating on a couch.

I’m in central time zone... so was I right?
