How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Ferry Go-Cups

As posted to the Coast, as a summary of last Friday past and the JP celebrations...  "How glorious to live in a city that can take you out on the water for $2.50 as a way to kick off/continue a big night out!  And how extra-wondrous it is, when it's the last late ferry on a Friday, and there are beautiful people to meet willing to take a chance on random, Guinness-fueled dancing adventures with strangers.  Thanks for entertaining us old guys, kiddo, and good luck on your LSATs.  Too bad we didn't get your number, but perhaps we'll keep our eyes out for you on the boat in 2016."

Haha, that's a hilarious back-handed way to keep the door just slightly ajar, when it should be closed.  But the world is funny in its randomness, and it is the kind of thing worth throwing out there in recognition of a memorably hazy, Sazerac-fuelled night.  More please.  Even as the clock ticks toward the possibilty of the Northern Lights, a new nephew, and Belize as another year around the sun winds to a close. 

Dreary November is past, and now we wait with growing anticipation to see what is next.  Antarctica and the rest of the Southern hemisphere odyssey firmly in the mind for Winter 2018 now, after some office changes that mean it makes sense to wait - to see if there are other conspirators to be recruited and avoid the frustrations of waiting on the list.  Lots of possibilities to come in the interim too - Everest Base Camp, RR/Bear, Tancook, MX-5, etc.  Me gusto mucho. 

December 1.  Off we go to finish 2015 with a bang.
