How fun; it's my birthday too!
I've got step one and two, but no plausible answer. Must be old age....

Ashore. I think. Page 5? How can that be? It’s only Thursday. I’m kicking myself for taking so long!

On shore! Family and work prevented me from getting here sooner. I was nearly a cautionary tale for submitting in haste, but I caught myself in time!

Edit: Happy birthday to @mheberlingx100 and @jrdad! My tiny baby turned 21 yesterday and I'm feeling ancient :-)

I’m going to declare myself on shore, despite a lingering doubt. I’ll not submit until I’ve had a chance to think it through.

Edit: Oh, I’m celebrating with a bit of Cointreau. Yum!

On shore. Had a break last week as we were in Las Vegas....hard to find an actual WSJ out there. (On-line doesn't work for me...i'm a print out kind of solver).
Still happy to be finished on a Thursday!

On shore! Wasn't sure at first because of a little jump but then saw something that confirmed it. Glad to be done today!

Ashore! Lucky for me I forgot about those numbers in parentheses till I kind of didn’t need them. Those are always just portals to rabbit holes for me. Cheers!

On shore! An error in our grid led us down some deep rabbit holes, but we were on the right track all along. Once we figured out the error it was a quick swim to shore. Whoo! H will have a Shirley Temple, and J will have a Taro Milk boba tea.

Ashore!

Really, only to page 5 at this point in the evening? I'm surprised

But another fun one; - thanks, Matt G!

Got it! I’ll have a Great Lakes Christmas Ale or an Old Fezziwig, please!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

Ashore after a stint being lost at sea (life kept me from doing the meta for a long time!)

Glad to see all my fellow cruisers again. 😊

Finally, I’m on the beach!
And I was last week, too!!
My britches sure have gotten big
From this two-week Meta coup.
Next week will likely give me fits,
And I will fail the battle…
And get back to my normal self,
Described: “All hat, no cattle.”

Done and done. A couple of false starts, but finally caught that wascally wabbit.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.
