A very gracious invitation indeed if all is at it seems. If he
accepts, please try to keep him off the internet. :-)



Well, while he may not have the opportunity to sail at this time in his
life, he's obviously enjoyed being a very knowledgeable captain in another
day, and if he would enjoy the chance for one last bang, I'd enjoy anything
he has to teach me. Besides, having had mum on the boat for 6 months, I'll
be ready for another cranky geriatric on board. I hope he accepts our
invitation. Life is full of colorful people, most of whom brighten our
lives if we learn to line the trees up differently.

Thus speaketh Lydia

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a clear
night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you are
quite alone on a wide, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the
general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the
surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as self-sufficient
as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one
that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly
appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin
