nautical exclamations
Working out is a true relaxer. I choose the treadmill over the elliptical trainers. Just a preference. But, today, a stroke of unfortunate fate befell me and it can only go downhill from here. During my morning run, my knee started to hurt. I shook it off, kept running, all was well. Then again it began to stiffen up. By the time I finished running, my knee hurt. Not horribly bad, just uncomfortable. It appears I am aging. Curse you, Neverland; those magic beans brought me no immortality.
On another front, I began Moby Dick. I’ve never read books before that include words such as “avast” or “thar” or “higgedly”. At the same time, I am having a blast enacting these scenes in my mind, hearing the coarse calls of sailor to sailor. I’ve never been around large bodies of water for any extended periods of time. But I can hear the waves expend their ceaseless energies into the hull of the ship. Perhaps, this is why so many people want to be pirates.

You know what? Not much on the internet makes me laugh-out-loud, but this pirate keyboard sure did. ARRRRRRRRRRRR! AVAST!! LOL.
