Hi Blackfoot - I'm guessing the flight's around 3 hours, right? If yes, yah might want to bring a book with you, or magazines that will take your attention away a little from the flight. If they have an in flight movie, try that too, no matter what the flick is. I had 2 flights each way to my recent holiday desination, and brought a few books, my Ipod and made sure I was busy, as I'm not fond of flying, but deal when I must.

Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@

Yes, it is a good idea. Additionally with a slight buzz to calm my nerves. My issue is I am horribly claustophobic. Once that door shuts, I want to have a panic attack! I think the flight is about that. I will have a slight layover in Chicago. Leaving for the airport in about two hours.

No problem Miss Lady Snow. I feel fortunate to meet just one of my Brothers or Sisters of the Coast. If more decide to come, the more fortunate I have become.

No, but I do have a slang and euphemism dictionary that I can read for hours.

Actually, there's two books that are useful in this capacity.

The first is Rogozinski's Pirates! - An A-Z Encyclopedia which is actually an encyclopedia of terms, people and ideas associated with piracy

and

Gosse's The Pirates: A Who's Who which gives descriptions of various pirates mentioned throughout the literature - both fictional and factual, identifying them as being such.

Neither book is perfect. Rogozinski's tome tends to state things a bit too broadly and sometimes takes what I consider liberties in the facts to make a point. Gosse's book is not complete, but it's a fairly good representation.

On a related side note, I actually started a thread on another pirate site listing all the known pirates by name, sorted by nationality with users contributing. When I left there and came here, I drug my list over, but it never really took off here. It's in Captain Twill: Pirate Origins (Nationalities).

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

It has come to my attention that in an air terminal of this size, it's a very long walk to get a cup of tasty, albeit overpriced soup....

I feel like a nomad..

..........but at least I have soup
