Greetins' ter all ye scurvey scallywags and salty wenches!!!

Dr Love and me are a' tailgatin' on the poop deck this afternoon  at 4 turns o' the hourglass ter watch our beloved Appalachain State Mountaineers, the most fearsome bunch o' buccaneers ever ta plunder a football field, play against them wussies from the puny state o' Montana in the NCAA Division I semi-final. Should wallop 'em fair and square an' if not, yer dear Captain may have ta consider walking the plank!!  Tune yer video box ter ESPN at 4 ter view the melee!

all year sounds pretty good to me!!! (hic).

Actually, this "dormant" chronologer is partying across the ditch in lil ol New Zealand fer some well earned shore leave. The pace here is very slow which is what I need right now. Oh, my MRI result came back ok - following the zaparooney, the growth is "stable" so hoping for some shrinkage for the next one.

To all my PBW shipmates, I hope you all have a wonderful new year and tht 2010 is a healthy one.

I just saw footage of the Sydney fireworks over the bridge and I figgered our Ship's Chronologer was there!

Say hello to Frodo and Sam Gamgee while ye be off in Kiwiville.  Them Kiwis know how to party, now.  I sailed wiv a bunch of 'em at Antigua Race week once.  They ALMOST kept up wiv me.  That was in Phase One of me birthday celebratin'--the all year long one during the 70's.  Whew! 

We got's another Aussie back here!  Chris-wench, the Tim Tam Fairy Godmother and Official Shark Wrangler has returned.  Welcome back Chis-wench!!! Yer bunk is still ready fer ya!!!

Happy New Year to all you mateys!!

Not that I have any authority here or anything, but I say we celebrate Steve's birthday all year.  Afterall, he's a moderator - and if we celebrate all the moderator's birthdays all year long we can have one hell of a party!  ;D

On another note, I actually saw TimTams in my local Target store - there's a first time for everything I guess.  Didn't buy any, but I certainly plan on it.

I'll bring some to the birthday party  ;)

Jan,

One of the rules of becoming an offical wench aboard the Goode Ship PBW is that you have some tim tams. Now, the best way to eat them is from the freezer - Sorat like Vodka in some ways.

Kiwiville was a great break. The slow pace helps to unstress. I'll write more about our adventure a little later coz gots to go to a silly old meeting now.

hey dear Capt'n  - the fireworks on the Sydney harbour bridge is amazing - you gots to see it live to get the full effects but with 1.5 million people squashed in the best spots, the tele is about the best option.

cheers
