Hard as THIS is to believe – good girl, Kristina!

I didn’t forget but I used that poem in my post last year. However as it never will grow old here it is again.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

— Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 – 1918)

Naxie, you do not mosey here. The most leisurely pace allowed aboard is scurrying, and you’d best be quick about it. Also there’ll be no fo’c’s’le lawyering under my command, missy.

Michael is no quartermaster, Jay, he is my XO, executive officer, and is no doubt off somewhere executing my standing, or bending, orders upon some deserving feminine bum or other. It’s what he does.

Michael what a lovely tribute to honor the veterans. One very special one… in deed!

Dev you made me cry with your salute to Dr. Ken in honor of his father. Lovely… in deed.

My cabin has more room to swing a cat in, Jay. Now put down the grog, Naxie. I’ll have you as well.
