So I'm a little gun-shy now thinking I'm going to post this and something obvious is going to be pointed out, but here goes:

537 *** 86*
*9* 6** 7**
*8* 7** **5

4** *3* *87
8** *** 4*6
*1* *4* **2

3** **1 *58
**8 **2 *4*
*** *** *79

Where do I go next? Suggestions? Thoughts? Can the Pope help me? ;)

Thanks!

There's nothing very simple you've missed, so no need to worry. Look at where the 5 and 8 can go in row 2. They have to be in the cells in box 2 (top-middle). Now, there's only one cell left in that box that can be a 3.

Got it. Hopefully, that will be enough to send me on my way. Thanks!
