I'm on shore at last! Like last week I got the second step before the first one, but I wasn't sure what was going on until I saw the rest. This was amusing in one particular aspect, and I'll be interested to find out if it was intentional.

I seem to be on the shore but not quite certain how I got here. Something hasn't quite clicked. I'll have to work at filling in the blanks.
Schmeel! Prayers for you and yours in these crazy, infuriating days! Hope all is well with you. Tell us how you all are faring… how is life different today from 48 hours ago?
Thanks for the prayers, definitely necessary, every bit helps.
Things have indeed changed, nationally and, by extension, personally too. I hope and pray for better times. But given the nature of this forum I think I'll leave it at that. I probably won't be posting for the next while, and I'll try to respond to the PMs I received. Thanks again for the concern!

Finally got my toes in the sand. Needed one extra shove to get there and was so close! Rewarding myself with an Ommegang ale of my choice and a big bowl of my freshly baked apple crisp.
A slow but steady progression to the shore as we have 10 on the ship enjoying the Jags - Bills game and 140 on the shore.

I have dragged myself off 2500 miles of freeway and onto the shore with help.. great to be home but OH what a mess awaits in the yard. At least what the armadillos have left us..,

Haven't had much time to look at the puzzle, since we spent most of the day chasing around Chicago. Our son ran the Chicago Marathon today (beautiful day for it) and we managed to see him at miles 4, 12, 17, and 25! Quite an accomplishment! Pics from miles 4 and 17.
There is still time but settling into my afternoon with Isaac. So many leads but floundering. It may be too late for this puzzle, but remind me, please, when the Zoom sessions are.
