The Doctor

I just reserved our cabin - it an oceanview with a balcony, which can only mean one thing... PARTY IN JACK"S CABIN!!!!!

Fantastic news, Siren! Good for you!

I want to learn how to cook Greek cuisine. :)

According to Mark Goodman of Sirius Satellite Radio, Johnny Depp is producing a CD of sea shanties and pyrate songs, performed by today's big rock artists. Expect it out in July, to coincide with the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest." :)

Oi! No better periodical (blimey! I got the word out!) ye might encounter, mate! A favourite in me house. :)

Capt. Morgan's Private Stock, and a bit of Leinenkugel's Red to wash it down. :)

Ah, yes... but I still think it's irresponsible to yell "Movie!" in a crowded firehouse. With the quality of movies today, it would cause a stampede for the exits. I have a lovely, funny story to tell... my wife and I were walking through a local mall on Friday, and Janelle decided she wanted to look at all the craft show stuff on display. For a lark, I went into the local Spencer's Gifts, to see if they had any pyraty stuff on sale. I cruised through the store, flirted with the gal dustin the dildos, and finally ran upon this display of light sabres (at $100 a pop), and started to play with on. nicely balanced, and solid on one's hand. I was mildy impressed. The next I knew, there was the sound of another light sabre activating behind me. The sales girl had grabbed on, and was challenging me! So, the match was on. I activated my sabre, and she said "listen to what happens when it hits something." And she swung her sabre, full force, right at me. I caught her blade, and deflected it, then struck a fencing pose. She grinned, and said "Finally! Someone who knows how to handle a blade!" She lunged, and I deflected, striking a blow agains her left side. I fell back into a ready pose, watching her eye the entire time. She smiled, and lunged again. This went on for about 15 minutes, with her hacking and slashing, and me deflecting and tagging her. She never got within the first six inches of my blade. Bottom line is that we had one hell of a bout, and although I did not buy a sabre, she sold six because of our tilt within the store. I might still buy one, maybe two. They're fun to play with!

Drunk!

Very worried about a dear friend.

Siren, healing thoughts are coming your way. You'll be whole and strong again, I have no doubt. Keep up the therapy, and know that you will beat this. :)

Well now, that doesn't sound especially... what's the word I'm looking for? Ah, yes... sane.

Check out My Lady's Cutlass. Wonderful music, and incredibly talented musicians!!. :) Tell 'em Mad Jack set ye!

An update on the robot vacuum cleaner: for those that are sure their cats won't accept the wee beastie, here's some recent observations. Selena: She packs it off into the other side of the house, but she's in no big hurry. Hurrying is for food. Caleb got utterly fed up because no matter how he played and teased, the robot would not play with him. He's upstairs sulking. Jack Jr. will intentionally bat toys in front of the robot (balls, mostly), because the sweeper brush will kick the ball off in some fun direction. At least he quit trying to ride the robot. So, don't worry about the gatos, my friends! They'll adapt. :)

Lord, guard and guide the men who fly, Through the great spaces in the sky, Be with them always in the air, In darkening storms or sunlight fair, O, hear us when we lift our prayer, For those who peril in the air. Eternal Father, guard our dead, For whom his comrades bow their head, Recieve him now his labours cease, And grant him thine eternal peace, O hear us as we lift our prayer, For promised rest and loving care.

Aye, that was taken yesterday, out my dining room window. :) If ye look towards the top of the picture, ye'll see a faint second rainbow. The fairies were with us that day. William, I hope ye don't mind my posting non-food images in your fine establishment. Sometimes, the soul needs nourishment as much as the body.

To brighten everyone's day...

While it's not my CD player, my ringtone is an MP3 of My Lady's Cutlass. So now, whenever I receive a call, MLC strikes up a tune in my pants...

No, no, dear Merry. I've got 2 upper-level managers chewing on my manager. My manager made the mistake of thinking I wouldn't go over his head. Some people learn by reading, some by observing, and some just have to go pee on the electric fence for themselves.

Ha! Found the buttons from a vendor in St. Louis, Misery. Should be here in a week's time!
