On Amtrak heading north for the holidays. Got it right after dinner but had to make my own grid due to poor WI-FI. In the train but on the shore!

Joy and peace to you all, my friends!

I went down 1 rabbit hole, then two…. I was surprised by the number of folks who figured it out so quickly. I was mystified. Then I ordered up a Bourbon and Coke and I took one last look. And my old gray cells said, “well of course”

And I floated ashore. I agree, it was a fun solution.
Merry Christmas, I am so glad I found this group and the WSJ puzzle.

Count me ashore. I’m off the naughty list. Single malt, please and thank you.

Quick swim to shore from horseshoe reef, where this guy wished me a Merry Christmas:

Nice gift from Mr. Shenk. Very nice of him to try and give Isaac a long Christmas weekend.

Duckhorn with appetizers. Something red with dinner.

Merry Christmas all and good luck getting the mug.

Ashore! Excellent meta.

Fireball on the rocks for me tonight. Polarizing decision, I know, but maybe I’ll live to be 105 as a result of it!
