Re: Jock Post #1: Women in Sailing

Anna - this post brings out one of my pet peeves. Why don't more women own/sail their own boats? And for that matter, go surfing by themselves, or backpacking by themselves, or take flying lessons or ... whatever they want. All the guys I know spend tons of money on toys, but for some reason, we women feel guilty. We're not supposed to spend money on anything but clothes. Please, anyone out there who has a daughter, raise her to be just as self-satisfying (for lack of a better term) as your sons.
OK, this is getting too big, I'll go rant in my own space.

Really fun hunt - but trying to find an OPEN ice cream shop after 8 pm on a cold, wet night, not easy!

The Flow of Stuff in my (quite small) family goes: mother in RI to USPS to me in CA. Me on phone to brother in FL "This is yours. Do you want it back? No? OK." Into CA landfill.
Highly unfortunate.

Love the coiled line photo!
And wasn't coming into an unknown harbor a great feeling?

Hey -did you know there's a new movie about the Little Sparrow opening on June 8th, called (naturally) La Vie en Rose?

Re: Notes on Being From The West, in the East

No no no! The West coast just keeps its beaches on the wrong side of the parking lot.
As for RI, I'm surprised you only overheard one accidental meeting between relatives - the entire state is related.
True story: Just after college, saw a car for sale on the roadside, told my friend Sarah who was looking. She went, bought it, and started sleeping with the guy she bought it from cause "he's so hot!"
And he was my 1st cousin once removed on my father's side.
