Well, to those of you with year-round sailing weather, this won't mean
much...but it was near 60's degrees in NY today and we started to get Alien
prepped for the Spring. I've given Suzanne a "get out of boatwork free-card"
since she is now pregnant!
My friends and I re-checked the sails and test started the engine, replaced a
jury rigged wiring harness for the stereo and VHF....we spotted a sloop
enjoying the day! Spring is nearly here!

Congratulations Bubbles.
The pregnancy confirms that you are indeed nutz :-)


Yes indeed. She's due in September. Reading all I can on babies/kids and boats.

Don't blame me, Jax is the _real_ father. I figure one more welfare
kid should put us over the top.

Congradulation Nutsy,

Should be a great kid! Ole Thom was born in Sept. A VIRGO! That a good
sign! A Child born of love and the depth of winter.

Watch out for Susy, Nutsy, she is carrying through the hot summer month.
Make the allowances

Make "Alien" the Queen's Barge this summer.

Good wishes for Susy and you.

Thanks, Thom. That's the plan, to make it the "Queen's barge!" We're still
hoping to make a few short trips, though we probaby won't sail to Martha's
Vineyard as planned. I might still go and have her meet me there. We'll see how
the pregnancy goes. It's pretty exciting and a bit scary.

RB

Oh boy, the excuses are starting early this year.

ROBERT! Stop telling people I'm pregnant. I told you I'd try and lose
some weight. I'll start my diet tomorrow.

And you will be getting a job or else no boat for you!

Suzy

I currently work 3 jobs and this week I'll be meeting with my partners to
discuss a deal to open a West Indian take-out restaurant. In addition to this I
have about another year or so before my book is completed. And yes, it's on
sailing...and YES it will be published.
My little ebay-boat gear venture has done 4K in just two weeks, though this is
a barter deal. I'm paying for everything boat-related in this manner, including
a new dodger and even next winter's storage. It really worked out nicely.
Suzanne works just as hard, being a full time nursing student, doing an
internship and also working as a CCP in her "spare" time.

RB

Congrats. Make sure your air conditioning is working - we had ours in August
and Claudia was running the A/C while it was still snowing!

And remember, although common wisdom is that baby's first words are when they're
about a year old, if you listen carefully, you'll hear them say about 5 seconds
after birth, "buy me a house! in the suburbs!"
