Ashore! Feels good after a few weeks of being lost at sea...

Ashore. I'm just hoping that Isaac has enough books or video games to get him through the social isolation this one will bring.

What a treat to sit in the quiet and do an easy meta after a hard day’s work! (And then to sip a… hmm… margarita?.. with a bunch of good folks like you, ON THE SHORE.

Ashore, with only half a grid filled in! G&T for me, with a twist of orange peel. :D
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Oh, my god. That was so cute!

Really difficult grid and a huge frustrating "huh" until it's there. So... it's cold today. Irish coffee with Bailey's I think.
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".
