Let's Play House

Mar 30, 2010 21:01

So, let's play house. But instead of the husband and wife who conform neatly into their respective gender roles and the 2.5 kids, dog, and a white picket fence, let's make some changes. Let's take this house and shrink it a bit, yet at the same time cram MORE people in. Many more. Let's bring the total number up to around 15. Now lets lock ( Read more... )

I was actually pleasantly surprised -- that same evening after posting this, later in the evening a bunch of us were in the bar having a jolly old time and I overheard our bosun saying to someone else exactly that: that he thought I was a key example of a hoped for turnaround in what the crew was like.

Funnily enough, every other sentence out of Aaron's (Our stew-ed-co) mouth is "Well, on the Hawaiian Cheiftain..." He's fun, but drives us bonkers.

Looking forward to more of your boat stories. How long will you be on it?

This is not at all apropos of your entry, but I thought you might be interested in this: Beehive found in Rosslyn Chapel - just in case you hadn't already seen it.

Good luck with the crew - sounds like a challenge!

Neat!! Thanks for that link, that's really neat.

Funny how it just casually mentions two skeletons at the end of the article. Um what??
