Horatio Nelson
Years ago I did so choose, to go on a Caribbean clipper ship cruise, and, in addition to several other islands, anchored off Nevis, northwest of Saint Kitts, where, in the late 1780's, Nelson had lived, and still bears traces of his presence today, in various parts, pieces and bits. When our windjammer Skipper informed us, 'Shopping here's good, snorkeling is bad,' I...

Get Thee Behind Me
Speak of the devil incarnate to give the devil his due not to play devil's advocate tho' devil-may-care the devil is in the details and while we're there to state so now would be opportune he who sups devil's food cake or devilled eggs with the devil should have a very long spoon but if we don't the devil you say better the silver-tongued devil you...

Premium Member Hats and Cats
There was a man with many hats, that lived in a house with many cats. When he went outside, the cats stayed inside. Hat choosing was driving him bats. One cat said, “he will be gone for the day.” Another one said, “with his hats we shall play.” A hat for each cat, no one to say scat. When he gets home the cats...

Forgotten Sorrow
Laughter hides in the strangest of places. I laughed when she spoke, the sun's rays kissing her Beautiful smiling, the lilt in her eyes Betrayed promises of many tomorrows. It's no secret that our life's been hard-- NO-- A betrayal of modest happiness. And yet, I found joy. Laughter whilst walking, Joyful moments of tender lovesickness. I forgot...

Bipolar 2
I'm secretly a genius, trouble is, I'm the only one who knows about it. I'm much too shy to show it, and I'm much too mad to keep it constant. I'm either busy laying in my bed, missing out. Or overworking myself to the point of exhaustion. There's no in-between. And that, my friends, is...

Premium Member nihonshu - sake
My master’s degree's a senior’s cruise - most of the other students are thirty and even forty-somethings. Good for them, for making the (75K) investment, it’s hard, and they all look very serious. I am too, of course. It’s busy and constant - but it’s business analysis - it's not hard, like chemistry (see retrosynthetic analysis)...

Anything Goes
Perhaps he's crackers to embrace glitz (to paraphrase Irving Berlin) 'Putin on the Ritz' tho' 'Sometimes something is better than nothing' went the writing on the wall yet 'Too much of nothing' (wrote the Zimmerman) is really no good at all and 'Everything comes to those who wait' an optimist put in prose but Cole Porter said it best when he wrote, 'Anything Goes' ...
