On shore.
That's the good news. The not so great news is I spent a few hours (several actually) in the ER this week. I'm fine, but it seems that drinking is going to be a no no. Sad. So my problem now will be to see if, when sober, I can tell if all of you are being your normal hilarious selves. Meanwhile, y'all have a drink by proxy.

Ashore!

Not too hard. I hope 28a doesn’t get lonely this weekend.

Quite lost at sea. Happily 28D is here too.

(Update: I'm since ashore-ified.)

I'll bet I made the same mistake as Meg did. And now I'm on shore, too!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

No...

The wife came home for lunch and said "Let's play the bird game" and when the wife says "Let's play the bird game" we play the bird game. (At least, not unless I can say "I'm just two minutes from solving this puzzle...." which... as it turns out I could have said but at the time I didn't know I could say it.)
Is that Wingspan? I bought the PC version around New Year's but haven't tried it out yet....

Ashore, solved and submitted. I felt lost for a bit and worried that a difficult or no-solve was coming, but then I found a path.
