It's been that way since 1636 when Roger Williams was kicked out of Massachusetts for his Laser sailing religious beliefs. He started the Laser cult in RI which exists to this day.Pandaboniumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352197350806179930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740572667294775424.post-88809564090413138172010-04-01T22:02:41.687-07:002010-04-01T22:02:41.687-07:00Either you're confusing cats with dog-zillas, ...Either you're confusing cats with dog-zillas, Pat, or I'm very confused, which is usually the case.<br><br>O Dockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674140306304705852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740572667294775424.post-59554988956096525212010-04-01T21:13:36.921-07:002010-04-01T21:13:36.921-07:00Well, you can give me the boat provided you instal...Well, you can give me the boat provided you install an electric-flush head, bow thruster, wine racks....<br /><br />Seriously, I hear that if you want really nasty, savage, rough weather, you should move your boat down the coast to Mission Bay.

If your conscience still insists that the essays be graded, well, you're on a boat with a settee you can sit upon and a table that can be hinged down into place in front of the settee. You and your spouse can trade off time grading essays and sailing the boat.<br /><br />Oh, and if the spouse insists that she can't delegate the essay grading to you, well, then you're giving her a peaceful and undisturbed environment in which to do that grading. If she's in a good mood, then she's likely to grade the essays cheerfully, and her students will benefit from that, too.Carol Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07201269435839112134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740572667294775424.post-27753880136665260122010-04-01T01:13:56.600-07:002010-04-01T01:13:56.600-07:00"Strange" is why I read this blog.

Then take a nice nap on your settee and dream about sailing. ;^)Pandaboniumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352197350806179930noreply@blogger.com
