More Lyrics: After finishing up 2 straight months of sleep deprived, mind crushing effort on a project proposal that literally sapped every ounce of creativity out me, and put my muse in a coma, I finally caught a break. Last Friday Eileen & I went to Las Vegas to chill out for the weekend. We celebrated our 23rd anniversary and participated in a Jimmy Buffett concert. No, we weren�t on stage, but his concert�s audiences get very involved including costume. Stress relief is an amazing thing. Best of all, now I get to come out and play at the Den again.

I've sailed across the ocean, searching for my life Through the trough and the swell, the cold blasts from hell I met the devil and had his wife They were just dreams Not reality it seems Steering by Constellation, moon behind the wheel The shadows it cast, exposed my shadowy past Now safe harbors have lost their appeal They were just dreams Not reality it seems Mermaid’s daughters will tell you, how they really feel But let the captain discover, that you’ve been their lover And you’ll soon be riding the keel They were just dreams Not reality it seems A buccaneer’s reputation, is determined by social rule Steal a shipmate’s doubloons, and you’ll end up marooned On a desert island where life will be cruel They aren’t just dreams Could be reality it seems My main sail is set for distance, trim is set for speed Now is the time for margaritas with lime Living your life by the Pirate’s creed Follow your dreams They make reality it seems Copyright 2012 Patrick Granfors

Just another old-fashioned pirate song (mimicking the Beatles). Jimmy Buffett will do that to you. Having written a number of companies proposals myself, I sympathize. I certainly hope you get the contract for all your effort. I was wondering why you didn't post, but I've been involved in doing reviews and it certainly saps my time for writing. Anyway, it's good to see you're back (especially when you take off your pirate shirt).

Nice to see you back, old Pirate Cuz. Nothing better than a trip to Vegas and a Jimmy Buffett concert to brighten things up. And Happy Anniversary.

Ah, yeah, love those margaritas with lime, to say nothing of finding how mermaids really feel... Uh, I've often thought about that. Topside's okay, but below the navel they've really got to feel, uh, kind'a fishy, and maybe smell that way, too.
Glad you're back my ol' desert dwelling pal.

Yep, indeed and I hear you. As long as you maintain dreams, you never grow old. Your body might, but the inner you will not.
