Memories of Mom…
Today marks the three-year anniversary since losing my mom. I’ve been trying to make sense of my thoughts about it over the past few days, and I find myself being confused about them. I think a it has a lot to do with the turbulent relationship I’d had with her over the course of my life. But in keeping in sync with funny thoughts and memories like I mostly have in regards to Pop, I find that there is still plenty to laugh about in regards to Mom. I’m focusing on that. Stay tuned.
Maybe Tomorrow…
It’s been a few days now since the world was hit with news of the death of Michael Jackson. The sad if rather unsurprising story has all the sordid elements that have played roles in the untimely deaths of so many other entertainment legends. Elvis, Jim Morrison, Marilyn Monroe, Kurt Cobain, Judy Garland, John Belushi, Chris Farley, the list goes on and on…

Ok, I’m sensing a pattern here…

Ok, so regular readers (the few of you out there) will remember we had a BIG development back in April when one of our onboard guests, Glen proposed to his lovely Holly while sailing with us in San Blas. It was what I called the beginning of some kind of paradigm shift in Andiamo’s rather tumultuous effect on relationships that came in contact with her. (more…)
Twitter Me Up!
Ok, so I’ve had my twitter for sometime now, but hadn’t really done anything with it. I admit it. I haven’t been “Twitter-savvy”. However, I’m starting to “get it” with Twitter, and you know what? It’s purty cool. It’s a simple concept, but you can do so much on it, it’s mind-boggling. I also now have Twitter tied into my Facebook and my Blog, so all get updated dynamically. I know that doesn’t sound like a big deal, but for a guy who does most of his netting by phone, it is. My thumbs appreciate it. 🙂
So… in an effort to harness my new Twitter-ness for good and not evil, I invite you to join me on it! If you already have it, great! Twitter me dammit! If not, go to Twitter, and catch up already! Don’t you know it’s 2009? :p

A funny Pop memory…
Dealing with the milestone dates always seem to take a different angle with me as each year goes by. Yeah, I went through my sad mopey period today on Pop’s birthday like I usually do. I get a bit quiet and reserved. Which this time was pretty easy to do, because I was by myself. Karen was in Caucasia visiting her parents, the passengers cleared out yesterday, and I was alone. Just me, and the Luce.
The strange thing this time is I spent most of the day having recurring memories about some of my funnier moments with Pop. There have been many of them, sure, but today, my memory chose to showcase a couple particular ones from my younger years. And one standout from that group seemed to get top billing. The funny thing is it was a memory I hadn’t thought about in a long time before today… here’s how it goes: (more…)
