Neither has been heard from in weeks. Bruce probably
got nailed by a tsunami at the dock or succumbed to
an exotic venereal diseae while Skippy finally got
PW'd into an extended lubberly, *family* life.


Well, partly right.

It is a rare thing for me to err!

Every time I left my own computer, I lost access to usenet - and was plenty
busy, otherwise, as well.

I purchased a hot spot from a telecom. It works great. Anywhere where
there is cell phone coverage there is Internet.


I did the equivalent of a minor refit on several houses, and got new
spectacles (arrival in the next couple of days), and dandled all 10 of my
grandchildren, and two of Lydia's, since last heard of. That was spread
around after the real reason for the shore trip, an induction at the
Marietta College Athletic Hall of Fame.

I'd be ashamed if I produced children or grandchildren. Don't you
realize how overpopulated the Earth is. Don't you feel the least
bit guilty being part of the problem and not part of the solution?


Now I finally get to go through some of the hundreds of pix
unsorted/adjusted/reviewed over the last many months.

Soon I'll be on that great inland route back to Flying Pig and an attempt to
get under way again, trying not to have major gear failure at every sailing
event as in the past year...

Forget it, Skippy. You are an official has-been just like Bruce in
Bangkok. Go help Lydia knit some sweaters.

Thanks for remembering me :{)) I may YET take you up on that beer, some
time in the next few months.

I'd be more than happy to buy you several beers but make sure Lydia
stays aboard the "Flying Pig" cooking and cleaning which is all that
females are good for aboard. Better yet, leave her ashore with her
relatives where she belongs and you and I can have a few brews while
looking for some young hotties who actually would enjoy a sailing
adventure under the tutelage of a couple of master mariners.
