Doin' well. Couldn't make it to Vegas this year to visit my baby brother. My t-shirts are in Vegas at the factory waiting for me to add to my web site.

The site is a work in progress but page one is definitely hoppin'. I got acquainted with California conservatives and the recall. I do California updates every Monday.

I moved in February and really like my new place, once I adapt to cathedral ceilings upstairs but no wall space. LOL How'd they do that?

I'll dedicate this year's Talk Like a Pirate Day to all the Women Pirates then and now. I'll be shoving off now. How ye be? Still a wench?
