I think Neal can back from his
first extended cruise refreshed, happy (?), revitalised, but not,
repeat not enraged anymore ...
So what you're saying is that he is quite happy to be just an old fart and has resigned himself to living the rest of his life
attached to an Atomic 4 engine block in a sea of stagnant water. Somehow not the Cappy portrayed so accurately in the Internet
Opera. What a shame that he has let life intrude on his life that way.
