I have been away for quite a while. I came back to answer a private message and I started to look around. Many young posters have grown into their own since my last visit and I see that Capt A is still the same as he always was. I cannot say how often I will visit in the future. When they went to the new format I slipped through the cracks. Also, I am recently divorced and inebriated most of the time. Good day everyone and safe sailing… Cheng ---

I have been wondering where the hell you went to. Sorry to hear you’re just drinking “most of the time” and not continuously, but you’ll get there. Good riddance to the ex, Merry Christmas to you. You’ve been missed, Chief. Your pal, C\_A ---

breakfast of champions…last nights stale warm beer and cold pizza!! It was a woman that drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it…I drink, therefore I am…W. C. Fields
