I wanted to live the life of a pirate, as a kid. (I mean, besides all that killing and robbing and wearing of tattoos). Here I am climbing the shrouds of a pirate ship at the pirate museum in the Florida Keys. They forgot to rig the ratlines all the way to the crow's nest, so I had to shimmy up without them.
How about you, matey? Every do some pirating?

Was Mama watching you at the time of your "adventuring"?
She took the picture.

She came home to our live aboard, after shopping one afternoon, and I had climbed the main mast of our schooner and was sitting on the masthead. She had groceries in her arms and not wanting her to be startled and possibly drop the groceries by discovering me on her own, I called down, "Hello".
She looked up and her eyes grew wide.
"WILLY!!! COME DOWN FROM THERE THIS INSTANT!
Wait!
Let me get my camera first."

I'm still searching through all her photographs for the picture.

I rode the Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland with my girlfriend. Then years later with my (different) wife.

Here's a test to see if you should be a pirate.
What's your favorite letter?
:huh:



If you said the 'C'.
You could be a pirate.
