Sorry, Mooron...but tell us...
Why haven't you sailed this season, Mooron? You finally got the poor thing launched. So what's wrong? Be honest. I know your trolls mean more than what they seem. My happy sailing season has you down, but why? Tell us. We'll listen. No jokes. Are you not well? Capt RB C&C 32 NY |

Sorry, Mooron...but tell us...
You're right bob... I haven't sailed much this season. Maybe a dozen
outings. My mother has taken 3 strokes in the last 6 months and my father has been a nervous wreck. He's extremely confused... bordering on Alzheimer's. He becomes distressed when I leave for more than a day or two. I'm completing renovations to the house to make it more "Elder Friendly".. ramps, rails, painting and needed renovations while the weather allows me to work outside. I have to take my mom into physiotherapy 3 times a week and run all the errands as well as do all the work on the farm. I'm broke and can't afford to buy gas to get to my boat in Mahone Bay. When I do get away I spend a lot of time concerned about how my parents are doing while alone. The possibility of my going to work in the Arctic for six months is a major concern. Luckily I have friends who look after Overproof for me since they live nearby. I haven't had the opportunity to wrestle the 500 lb concrete mooring out to it's intended location.... just off the shorefront here. The good points are I get to go fishing with my old man and we share a lot of good times and laughs. I get to fulfill my obligations to my family and enjoy the time spent with them in their golden years when they can use my youth and strength. It's not time wasted.... Life deals the cards Bob... and I roll with the punches. Go ahead and gloat some more Bob.... it will make you feel so much superior.

All trolling aside...sorry about the hand you're currently playing. Perhaps the next draw will improve. RB |

Geeze, that sounds tough. Tell your mother that there are people around the world who are hoping/praying for a good recovery.

That sounds like you are earning riches that will last you forever! I hope that they both do well. Regards Donal -- |

She's still active despite her condition. I've seen my father slip from a wizard at electronics, designing and assembling deep sea testing equipment for tectonic plate research on the mid Atlantic ridge to some one who is confused by a simple light switch installation. I'm glad I paid attention and learned a lot from him during his good times. We spend a lot of time rowing in the bay ..... fishing, talking and laughing. | That sounds like you are earning riches that will last you forever! I hope | that they both do well. I'm bound and intent that my parents will never see an Old Age Home and have the opportunity to live out their lives in their house with their family close by and involved in their life. Mom is in her 80's and Dad in his 90's. CM |

Sorry to hear it CM. I was feeling badly because I haven't been out much on
my boat much due to racing obligations, silly me. John Cairns "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message ... You're right bob... I haven't sailed much this season. Maybe a dozen outings.

RB,
If you would read what is posted on this list, of a serious nature you would be aware that CM is living a family obligation. Many lives extend farther than a Troll. Excuse me for reminding you of real life. Continue to exist in you own world of fiction and deceit. OT |
