Happing Thanksgivy

I want to wish all a Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you had a good one and didn't overdo it too badly, lest ye explode. I believe I will no retire to read some of my favorite puritan, Solomon Kane.

Here is a song of thanks for you to enjoy.

Shakespeare Insult Kit

Well, back after a brief interlude (which included my 33rd birthday...geez I'm old)

I found this amusing page a few days back. Good stuff. I have to say my favorite combo is "thou lumpish fly-bitten barnacle"

Have fun.

Paul Norris R.I.P

Yesterday Paul Norris, creator of Aquaman died. Ever since I was child, he has been my favorite super hero, and thanks to Mr. Norris I have had the pleasure of enjoying these stories. Here is a link to his obituary.



Thanks Paul.

Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all from yer ol' cap'n. This being Van's first Halloween I feel I should share pics of his costume. Most people who know me know that I love comics, and my favorite hero is Aquaman. So my wife suggested we dress van up this year as Aqualad. I thoght this was a pretty cool idea so we made up a costume, and voila! Here he is making his Halloween debut on dry land...





Special thanks to Rob over at The Aquaman Shrine for the aqua-beanie.

Sutton Island

Sunday we took a ride out to Sutton Island to do a little gardening work. As it was a gorgeous day (started that way anyway) and we had a little time to kill at the end, we walked around the island on the shore path. Sutton is probably one of my favorite places around here, and is reached by a 15 minute ride on the mail boat. The island is made up of seasonal residents, and this time of year they are all gone, so there wasn't a soul out there, and we had the whole island to ourselves. Here are some pics from the day...

This is the osprey nest on the western tip of the island. It's somewhat of a local land mark. It's over 100 years old, estimated to weigh several tons, and is about 6 feet tall.


This is looking back toward Bear Island and the lighthouse.


This is looking back toward Mt. Desert Island, which is where I live.

The shore path veers into the woods for a bit.... right past the spooky old abandoned water tower. Zoinks!


This is on the northern side of the island. I thought it was really cool how the rocks right next to eachother are completely different colors. The dark ones look blackend by smoke or something, but they are not.


One of the many little coves/beaches on the island


A groovy stump. 'sheck it out meng.


While we were waiting for the boat, I signed Van's name to the collection.
