A bubble of existence at the end of the year

It's Clear!

Wrapping paper fire and brown Christmas trees will burn like tires

I'll watch the flames as the shit burn feeds

Add more fuel of thoughty weeds

Feel the warmth of past's ember light the present coal of limber

All the memories and lessons learned turn to smoke or

...beds of ash to sleep upon and dream

Maybe of future, love, and friendly monsters

Not unlike this crazy songster

Oriana Awaits

Our new boat Oriana, a Tashiba 31 designed by Robert Perry and built by the highly regarded Ta Shing boat yard in Taiwan, will have a faithful crew stupid enough to take her across oceans (at least one) and wise enough to know that life holds no guarantees. Stay tuned for all future journeys, stories and projects related to "Oriana" on this blog. I promise it will amuse and entertain, maybe...or just read to be witness to a couple fools, as if witnessing a train wreck, but funnier. I hope...
