Jacky Tar

(Geez, luv ye used up me next four posts!)

Truly she was Russia(n) a bit, an bein' a German lass, as it Athens she didn't really like Turkey!

I'm goin', if fer no other reason than t' listen t' Port of New Providence moan... er I mean sing!

I did LORE at Corona, an Cutthroats last year. The attendance were a bit light, but the company was grand!

Hmmph, Insomniacs indeed! Change their schedules a wee bit an they drop like flys.

(Sees Red CAt curled up on a sea blanket. MerryDeath sleepin' an snugglin' her grand baby. Chole dreamin' 'bout modern sanitation an the decline o' the American health care system.)

^ Cappuccino! (Not S***b****)

< Aye, stay up late an get up early. (Wot are we thinkin'?)

V Any other bad habits beside sleep deprivation?

Was she in much Spain?

^ 6:30 am.... zzzZZZ!

< Mornin', not me favorite time o' the day. Mornin' interferes wit' me nights.

V Wot's yer favorite time o' the day?

A guest, eh? Hummm...might be having to make a trip South. :)

Is that a threat or should I save ye a seat?

^ Aye, me daughter an I do magic tricks.

< Me best trick tryin' t' raise independent, compassionate an motivated children.

V Wot's yer best trick?

"Good books always get a bit frayed. Why would ye want t' read one that looked like no one had read it?" -- Jacky Tar

I received an email from Jack Sparrow!

Not the Jack Sparrow... (Note: all me re-enactor pirates who don't care 'bout POTC, read no further. Ye been warned... )

Yep, the folks at Disney hav added ol' Jacky Tar t' the list, fer the Ultimate Fan Event, at the El Capitan Theatre. I hope those who applied are seein' their emails from Jack Sparrow, too!

The ticket says those in garb will receive preferred seatin' and swag! Aye, an the ticket even allows me t' bring a guest. The ticket says the event will take 'bout three an a half hours, too.

Well I hope t' see some familiar faces there, on Sunday.

I turned t' face Silkie, "So yer sweet on the big fella, Roberts? Aye, he has his doubts 'bout ye, but it's better he hear the truth from yer lips."

She looked out at the ocean, an I said, "Does it call t' ye? Must be hard t' walk in both worlds." She smiled an nodded, an I wondered could she ever be happy in either?

^ Quirks, ticks an falts in the program... Not sure.

< Back t' people... I like people, each one is a story, an no two stories are alike.

V Wot's yer story? (Sum yer self up in one sentence)

^ A whole room! That's ambitious; however, I can seed mirth an get folks smilin'.

< Sometimes things people say are so funny t' me, I can't resist teasin' 'em.

V Do ye like people?

^ I sure hope so. I want t' gather many more good memories.

< I received a 'Just because gift' yesterday. It came from an unexpected source an I found me self handin' out hugs. It's always special when someone outside o' family an friends, gives a gift that says I thought o' you!

V Do ye give 'Just because gifts?'

I second that question! The Northwest gets treated like it's Siberia.

It's yer latitude...

Hmm well maybe he;ll lash together some palm trees an float back

No, luv. Not the island o' Java, he means the programmin' language o' Java. A long descent into He** fer some programmers.

We wish him much success an rapid assimilation. We'll leave the pub light on fer 'em, an roast a few Java beans in his honor.

^ Helped organized a group o' dads t' take their daughters t' breakfast in their PJs (The girls were in their PJs, not the dads).

The dinner had ended an me guests had left wit' out us discussin' wot I expected of 'em in Havana. We hadn't even discussed bringin' any crew from the Rakehell wit' us ashore.

Roberts seemed t' be up fer wot may come, but Silkie had gone unexpectedly quiet. She seemed unable or unwillin' t' share much 'bout herself around Roberts. Maybe she was rethinkin' her joinin' this adventure; I hoped not, her special talents would be put t' use, soon enough.

I wondered wot mischief the CAt was up too, aboard the Rakehell; nothin' Ransom couldn't handle.

I walked up on deck, an saw the Rakehell off our starboard side. Ransom could hav left us in her wake, but ever faithful she once again had our back.

(Jacky hops up on the counter next t' her, an pours a Disaronno on the rocks.)

Thought the CAt favored Diet Dr. Pepper? (not the question)

I thought ye had the list? (that be the question)

(Jacky chuckles at the CAt's expression.)

Wot were we talkin' 'bout?

(Aye, workin' in the kitchen wit' the CAt, makes ye lose track o' things.)

Seriously CAt, if I'd had me last look, wouldn't I hav wot I was lookin' fer?

^ Let's see... We've got green, brown, black, blue, yellow, tan, sea foam, an navy. (That's just solids!)

< Not sure why their are so many different colors, or clocks!!! Me significant other, has a significant number o' clocks. The time change at our house is amusin'.

V Do ye collect a lot o' any one thing? (We hav a friend that collects pigs! Don't ask an I won't tell.)
