So...The Sailboat

-

i'm absolutely loving the experience so far. we basically spent last thursday thru saturday at the boat. with cleaning it, polishing the wood, fixing little things here and there, getting the mainsail up...whew. it was a lot of work. but im really excited.


now...i really want to go sailing! we've been so busy getting her ready, and the fact that we're waiting on a surveyor so we can insure her, that we havent actually gone sailing yet! i know, these things take time, im patient. ive really enjoyed the "nesting", just getting to know the nooks and crevices and places to stow stuff on her, planning where to put things, getting some new items, that part has been nice, relaxing.


one of the sweetest nights was at sundown after a long day's work, William and i just sitting around, drinking rum & cokes, talking, laughing, feeling sore and listening to a little blues on the portable. i just loved that. there's plenty time for sailing soon...

So, Farrah chose to make her anal cancer very public, by airing her battle on television in the hope of bringing awareness to the disease. This, I believe, showed an amazing amount of courage, on her and her family's part. There's no way in hell I would have done it that way, I'm too much of a coward for that. Well, the battle ended yesterday. I won't say she lost, I refuse to, because she fought to the end until there was nothing...
