2nd letter of John to the Darwinians

"Have faith my brothers that the purveyors of Swedish Meatballs hold no sway over the land. Walk freely in the knowledge that you are strong in the eyes of the singular one. Do not fear to bet the finest single malt in a feeble attempt to prove your losing positions."
~
"You have seen that Nestor is wise and clear in his admonitions and forecasts. Now also know that he is humble and just and will not stoop to ridicule your past assertions and inaccurate representations. You continue to be welcome in his presence."

Nice Milestone Today...

... for Operation Moonshadow.
~
The Stramski Affair.
Lots of moving parts.
Could be an interesting chapter.

Tempus Fugit

Time Flies.
~
Dimatteo has been at Darwin for two years today. They gave him an ice cream cake, and he was suitably humiliated. It was great. I have a photo of him with the cake but I lost my bluetooth USB adapter and I can't load it from my Nokia yet. I ordered a USB cable from Amazon and will post the pictures when I get it by the end of the week.
~
In the meantime, visualize Tom with a perplexed and disgusted look on his face with the cake in the background.
~
There is a theory that time passes quicker for adults than for children. I think that this is so.
~
Time is so relative. When I was a runner, the four + minutes that it took to run a competitive mile race seemed like an eternity. But now... sitting, and watching a running event on TV passes in moments.
~
A ride to New Hampshire for two hours seemed like an eternity when I was a little kid. Now, an hour drive doesn't seem like a haul at all.
~
A week's vacation from school seemed like an eternity. Now the week's flash by so quickly.
~
I'm not up to postulating a theory as to why time appears to pass quicker now.... it just does.

Beauty


Who does this remind you of ???

Boats Get Old


Someday the Herreshoff Columbia Yacht Tender will look like this bugger.


~

It will be nice to pass some water under it in the meantime.

Motivation







This is pretty funny stuff from http://www.despair.com.


This makes me think of DiMatteo.


Reflections on a Funeral

Stephen Covey says that you should think about what you want people to say at your funeral, then gauge your actions accordingly.
~
New Age Philosophy says that you choose everything that happens on a subconscious level, including your death. The New Agers also say that dying is far less traumatic than being born.
~
I think that dying must be like the first time you had sex - although you didn't know quite what to expect, it all came together very smoothly and naturally.

Operation Moonshadow...

... needs a push. Hope to have progress today.
