This week's contest is titled "Countdown" by Mike Shenk

The answer to this week's contest is an astronomical term

Countdown spreadsheet

Good luck with the grid and the meta

And before we scurry off to solve the meta

One of our creative yet technically challenged muggles has a great idea for the muggledom web site but he needs some technical support. We are looking for someone to assist him in bringing his idea to fruition. We don’t anticipate it will take large amounts of time but some knowledge of website design is needed. If you are interested, send me a PM and we will get everyone together. Thanks in advance.

I'm on page 1 for the first time in a while.

Fortunately the solution was one of the first few things I tried.

On shore. Okay. A quick one (or two). Have to pack. Off for the weekend to visit my daughter who is interning in the New Hampshire forests. Not to worry though.They have bars there too as well as trees and mountains.

Oof, that wasn't so easy for me, but after some fits and starts I got ashore safely. Maybe some Trocken Riesling to celebrate?
