"Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirate's life for me!"

Avast, Me Hearties! Me Matey (YRT) just told me that t'day is "International Talk Like a Pirate Day" (ITLPD); and I have smartly dredged this here blog to show I'm not just another Lubber!

ARRR!

Me husband had a bit too much of the Grog with his fellow pirates a night back and so we've had a day off from th'postin'. (My "pirate" might have a bit too much blarney mixed in.) When he came home, he asked me: "Wanna shiver me timbers?" Uhhhh, no. He was Keel hauled :)

Been havin' a roaring time here at the Grady Galley. Cap't RKZ sailed back to his duty post & has been livin' it up like a Bilge Rat in the Rum kegs. It's been nice -- ARRR.

Billy Buck (literary reference intended) & I have been cruising the wench groups -- met some hearty babes (and their offspring). Of course, Billy Buck's mother has already lost the phone numbers of the beauty friends she collected. ARR (stand-by TLAPD interjection).

Today, Billy Buck has his first experience of swarthy day-care -- His mother was worried about leavin' him...but he sailed away with a babysitting wench & never looked back at his old shipmate. The sitters even had to transfer Buck to the "older kids" room because he was (and I quote) "Too active" for the infant room. [Switch from Pirate here for the story = I guess Buck was diving for the baby swings and trying to push them faster. He loves the swings, and I'm sure he was just thinking the babies -- who were IN the swings -- would think it was more fun. Also, Buck is fixated on anything with wheels. He wouldn't let the sitters push other babies around in their strollers because he kept holding on to the wheels - hence, his move to the "big kid room." If you have been keeping up with Buck's physical progress, I'm think that this might make you laugh. Or at least smile.]

ARR.

Allrighty, you bilge rats -- hope you enjoy whatever comes out of your bung hole today (Bung hole – Victuals on a ship were stored in wooden casks. The stopper in the barrel is called the bung, and the hole is called the bung hole. That’s all. It sounds a lot worse, doesn’t it?)

See you from the poopdeck!
