I spent many a day as a child while listening to my Sinbad the Sailor record dreaming of being a sailor and fighting pirates. Always seemed like such a romantic job. However, when I graduated, there weren't any openings.
Cool post. I know that I always look forward to this day each year.
Between you, the one who makes me gaffaw or blubber or atleast remember when, and Gunner who has the perfect link to everything worth ever knowing, i am just one happy camper!!! Of course you forgot one that was a fav when we were in school- Jose Gasparilla Day
