Ended up off centerline and high. I made it work, and we were never outside our SOP tolerances, and we landed in the TDZ, but it was one of those days where you just feel like you've forgotten how to fly. Oh well. Hopefully tomorrow will be better...
They should provide wake separation in IMC. In my experience visuals are where you need to fly high.
