Ashore. Good luck to those running Boston and we remember 4/15/13. Be safe all.

This one jumped fast at me. Ashore. Two Pisco Sours: one for me and one for the Mrs.

Ashore.
But it was really hard. I think it was the hardest since the second week of this year.
The actual mechanism was very well hidden and there were at least a dozen serious rabbit holes (at least as likely at first glance as the actual mechanism) [although I will admit once you found the first mechanism the rest follow unlike the rholes I tried).
So I'm bucking the trend and saying this was... Okay... *maybe* I'm exaggerating, But it was certainly harder than the average.

So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.
My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

I just printed it out for my train trip to Boston. Thanks for the shout out Jeanne and Cruise Director Bob to Boston runners. I will be running (or jogging it) but please don't track me as it was so embarrassing last year when I returned and saw that you were posting updates as I was slowly making my way towards Boston street. That was so kind of you. I'm just excited for a fun 5 days in Boston. Looking forward to tackling the puzzle tomorrow.

Ashore
If I’ve solved and you need a nudge, you can PM me. Happy to pay it forward.

Ashore -- the meta itself was fun, but I feel the grids themselves lately have been extra difficult. I had to resort to google to complete the grid, which I don't like, but is necessary to solve the meta!

Your show? What are you doing? Break a leg!!
I’m on shore. I especially enjoyed the reference to a previous contest answer.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Ashore a long time before I thought I was, but ashore nonetheless!

Ashore. Things seemed to fall in place once I found where to look. I guess I’ll have some time to finish my taxes this weekend.

On shore with the rest of y'all. Thanks Mike for a clever construction.
Enjoyed a crisp Loire Sauvignon Blanc on this very warm day (which will last until Saturday when the temp will drop again.)
A safe weekend to all; those of you in Boston enjoy Patriots Day and the Marathon.
