Boss apologized for the mixup re: not telling me about the shift of duties. He's a good guy. But I still have even more duties than the rest of the gang. I'm cool with that. The important thing is that what I do isn't important (or just flashy) enough for Uberboss to pay attention to, and thus, screw up.

Everybody be sure to wish rewil a big happy b-day, 'cause she's da best. And sorry I didn't get to go to the party. Soon we shall set Crab versus Pipe and see who wins....

Moment of delight, from this week's Book of Ratings entry -- Aspects of Pirates:

Parrots: When you think of the things pirates live for, "treasure" and "violence" top the list, maybe with "hornpipes" coming in a distant third. "Stewardship of colorful avian wildlife" doesn't seem like it belongs there, but somehow pirates attract parrots the way science fiction movies attract snotty weblog reviews. I'd really like to see a wider variety of pirate shoulder pets. You've got the parrots and the odd monkey. What's wrong with the idea of a pirate captain with an armadillo clinging to his shoulder, or a bos'n struggling under the weight of a tapir? It could be a status symbol to have a heavier shoulder pet than anyone else. "We'd best lay off, me boyos! They're hefting llamas!" B
