“Drop Anchor” It would appear that Nik and Bam have crept up to the barrels near Fip. It is not like anyone is in the vicinity but caution is likely advised. Especially when venturing into unknown, and apparently civilized – territory. To say that our emerald archer is excited to see the others is without question. And Fip’s declaration that the rest are behind a prison door must be reassuring. What is not reassuring is a distracted Bam touching things that shouldn’t be touched. Thank goodness for quick reflexes. It looks like they will grab Fip before the gobo prisoner is dragged to the murky depths.
Will this be the last of the nautical terms? I mean, the gobo ship has sunk. Well, they are near water, it is fitting for the scene and… I’m on a bit of a roll.

That was many years ago. I am happy to say that little has changed since then, other than we are all a bit older – hopefully wiser – and there was a grandson for her to see in person for the first time.
It’s the Fourth of July once more. It is time again to celebrate the uniting thirteen colonies against their sovereign across the ocean. As my friend is want to say, “Treason is the Reason for the Season.” 
Who doesn’t like some hugs on Father’s Day? 
It’s another Mother’s Day! Have you ever heard the phrase “a brother from another mother”? How about a baby from another lady? No? Me neither. I think 
What do you mean, happy second birthday? Isn’t about eight months too early? You would be correct, but this is actually a personal shout-out to my boy, Dante! The days of changing diapers are soon to end but the memories of the task (and smell) linger. Have you ever changed a diaper before? The difficulty level fluctuates between marathon quickness and a
