Status: offline 		John, I used to sail back in my youth (late 70s).  I hadnt been on a boat in 30 years unfortunately but was on vacation in 2008 in NC and went on a sailing trip with my wife and kids (who'd never been on a sailboat).  Man was that wonderful.

Pas! Good to see you, buddy! Just spent the early morning on a Hobie Cat with the kids, criss crossing Grace Bay.

Ah, sailing. I checked in from time to time here to follow your adventures, pal. Seasoned sailor now, are ya? Well, I sold my boat. Three of us idiot Popeye imitators took 'er across the Atlantic last summer, and I spent a few weeks in Miami chasing women and doing other stuff I probably shouldn't have done, but enjoyed anyway.


After I got things with the old sloop wrapped up, I headed west for my old digs in Californy, where I'm back to teaching for a year starting up a new series law school classes. Next spring, after I become emeritus again, there's a new boat in my future. The fellas and I are going to hiphop across the Pacific and eventually head back into the Med, where I will kick out the caretaker family that is renting my retirement joint and go back to geezing.

Life is pretty good. I miss the old boat, though. She was a good 'un.






Ah, heading back to the Med, the long way. Sounds like an awful time to me. Stay sane with all that lawyer talk, my Brother.

I am, very much, Bruce.

Enjoy the golfing Thursday! We booked a day trip for Thursday to go snorkling off two of the smaller islands in the chain.

Subject line or not, that was very funny, my Martian friend!

Edit: Crap, SRT after Mynok's SRT. That's what too much rum will do for me.

Status: offline 		OK, so they upgraded our "room" when we got here from an Ocean view to an Ocean front.  Our enormous patio overlooks the biggest pool, the ocean, and the restaurant.  The restaurant has live music on Tuesday and Thursday nights, so after dinner I was sitting out here enjoying the music.  Then, a pretty good rain storm came through.  Put a damper on the music, so I'm going to grab one of our new steel drum CD's and pop it into the laptop while I sip my rum in the breeze and catch up on some more reading.  

Brother Mynok, my apologies, but even with 2 turns in my inbox, I've yet to work on one for you, and I'm in no condition to do it tonight.    I did watch the replay from our Guad game, for what it's worth. 

With that I bid you all a wonderful good night - Tithe.

No worries, bro. Enjoy your vacation. I now have planned to simply try to keep my point totals greater than yours until 2012 when the world ends.

I did not know you were teaching law. I taught three semesters of business law here in town a few years back. It was fun, but working full time in a practice made it difficult to make the most of the experience. I may try again down the road when I retire.
