September 19th brings us once again to Talk (or, in this case, send emails) Like a Pirate Day, which also happens to be an excuse for my, also annual, Birthday Party. We toyed with declaring the 19th of every month a celebration of my birth, but that seemed even more cult-like and ego-maniacal than most people would tolerate, given the tendency of the recipients of this message to be habitually over-booked with cult-like observances as it is.

So prepare to dress in odd costumes and draw together around a fire under the open sky and consume sacrifices of once living beings, and we'll leave the cult-like behavior for another time. Please go to http://www.doodle.com/6n2tfd6uff445b6r and opt for the day/time configuration which makes it most likely you will be able to appear (to be stinky, frightening, and ill used by life without actually being so), dock your vessel at the appointed beach and time, find a comfy place to rest your bones while consuming Lisa food (no more need be said), share sea shanties, and generally unnerve the locals.

If you can't do that weekend, or manage the beach (or any other dilemma), and would like an alternative local date, please let me know. ANY excuse for a party.

AAAAAAaaaaarrrrrrrrighty then.

Considering piracy if legit employment continues to be elusive,
