Pirate Day is Over
Since Pirate day is over, and since my site is best viewed with the boring but predictable theme “WordPress Default”, I recommend you select this as your theme. There should be a select box in one of the side columns. A sad day for a pirate it be. Err…Maybe my pirate speak is more like…

Wicked Izakaya evening
Kei’s family Originally uploaded by ekraay. Kei’s family took me out for an Izakaya dinner and we went to the show Wicked. Izakaya is like Japanese tapas. Popular with Japanese businessmen, it features lots of finger food. The musical was bright, flashy, entertaining and funny.

Practice makes perfect
I went to sailing practice last night on Tachyon, Shaun’s newer Farr 40. We headed North from Shilshole Marina in the Puget Sound. It was a beautiful clear night, with consistent breeze at 10 knots. We headed upwind for an hour, while they inspected the new rig. Then we pointed back for Shilshole, while the…
