We had a Sister (of the Holy Child Jesus) in our parish who was in the Coast Guard in World War II. She was a pharmacist’s assistant in San Francisco. It must have been very exciting for a single girl.

My father and uncles have rarely talked about their war experiences in my hearing. I think some details came out at the deer cabin when everyone was drinking, but those were “no women” evenings!

There are good ships and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships, are friendships, and may they always be.

Many Happy Returns of the Day to you, Seaman Anoreth.

How sweet! I’d never seen that before.

Nor I, and I was right here when she posted it.

Of course, I was deep into finalizing the technical additions to my London talk so i wouldn't have to lug a big binder with me on the trip. But that's done, so "all" I have to do is to find some new art to replace existing art, to shift the theme from "Old Masters" to "American" (as seen by those the other side of the pond -- Wild West would be good if I could find the right things).

Search for Frederic Remington or Charles Russell. Classic Western art, and lots of images are in the public domain.

I just finished watching “Chicago” (the musical film) with Tom, and am shoo-ing him and Bill off to bed. DP and Elen are in Myrtle Beach visiting his mother, and the rest of the Offspring went to bed a long time ago.

Oh, I’m sorry. It’s so sad to lose a pet who has been with you a long time.

It was rough.
I was at work, so I couldn’t be there.

I’m sorry. I couldn’t be with Wednesday, either, but I’m sure she understood at whatever level they process.

Some of the NC guys say it’s snowing in their zipcodes, but we just have cold rain. Unhappy mammals and reptiles with no Sunbeam Time.

Ours have died before that stage. But it's sad.

Arrived in Nashville in good order, but very tired. Texted coworker, but I guess he hasn't arrived yet. So I'm out to pharmacy for some cold meds, then somewhere for dinner, then to crash. The fun starts tomorrow.

Your panicky insecurity may now subside; I have returned.

Happy Birthday, Anoreth. Many happy waking moments.

O hai. I’m being tired, cold, and damp. The last obnoxious blast of winter; some of the NC guys had snow today. Ash is Deeply Dissatisfied.

And Anoreth is incommunicada. Maybe they’ve put to see already.

Co-worker: “lost in transmission, being monitored by bunny.”
Bizarre message from beyond..

Kearen wasn’t a cuddle cat, she was a sit next to you and watch movies cat.

"And Anoreth is incommunicada. Maybe they’ve put to see already."

I sea.

But that was why my message was of lasting and permanent import. Like all of them.
