Times are a changing
We’ve had the great luxury of having Sven on board these last two weeks an that’s all about to change. Tonight for the first time I took the last shift from 4:00AM until 8:00 +/-. Slept very well for about…
nothin’ much
Another day on the Pacific. I don’t have any epic hijinx from the past to report and the present is very peaceful and pleasantly monotonous. I’m still reading. I finished The Prince of Tides and loved it the second time…
