ok.. arrived late...races over, launched and rigged my boat just in time for non ending rain. did get to eat at the ole biloxi schooner...gumbo, crab claws, vancleave special(stuffed crab meat po-boy w/cheese). the meal was a total victory! found grocery store/liquer store close to secret spot and a canvas shop next to marine store. five years ago katrina destroyed the coast i knew and grew up with...i'm discovering a whole new coast!

Dear Mr. Coastrat,

Sounds like a good day to launch, unfortunately, I've been signed up for some sort of off site training that I cannot possibly get out of. But oh how I would love to take the Blue Ribbon and the Backasswards out to ship, with a crew of 'goula gurls or dark skinned NOLA ladies. Oh darn, my boss is calling me now, "Sossaman!!!" Public Utility calls!

Thanks Dr. Billy! I also need a prescription while your at it; something for the pain, the pain of the drama we know as "Public Utility". Tune in tomorrow for episode 3, "The New Girl Meets the King of the Copier" In this episode the new girl has mountains, mountains of copies that the boss has requested she make, but the King of the Copier has the Xerox tied up all day and all night. The new girl formulates a plan to distract the King away from the Xerox long enough for her partner in crime, Ms. Newcherry, to make the necessary copies. Meanwhile, after hours, the janitor, Mrs. Smithwood, cannot access her supply closet. With the help of a crowbar she discovered in the Boss's private water closet, Mrs. Smith discovers the new girl and the King tangled up in...tune in next week for "The New Girl Gets Promoted" on "Public Utility".

Oh man, its a good thing I live 6 hours away from you guys. I would be sick way too much. I dont think Dr House could come up with a list of diseases long enough for me! Wish I could be there on a beamer out the Ship with you.

Had a blast at Juana's - Sorry you couldn't make it. I am planning to do the Slip to Ship in the sping.

Cake Day was indeed a keeper, nominated for an emmy. These peeps round here are hyenia-tized, so no worries about inappropreite laughter triggered by inappropreite (I can't spell) emails. I need to send you the one from the German AutoShow. It's been nominated for something.
