The Ship has now been secured to the dock, The Captain grabs his duffle bag, shades, harmonica, slips on his Berks, and is heading off into the sunset....Well, it has been a great ride, a fun ride, a tremendous ride. I can see that the last post was almost 24 hours ago, which tells me people are really busy, or just plain bored with the cruise, or with the last round of edits, are just paranoid to post anything....it has been stated many times that each of us has had an easier time than others during The Quit, maybe it has gotten to the point the services of the Captain and Crew are no longer needed, or at least not as much. I have tried over the past couple of months to keep the ship afloat when things have slowed but I hate to force things on people, so it is time to tie her up and remember the fun times, and we did have those. I feel like I know everyone on this boat. I received a lot of support from a lot of great people, and felt I have given support as well. I will always hope that everyone continues to stay strong and not waver in their quits, continue to help those who need your support, and be kind and caring with those that are having a tough time....not much more to say, so I will bring down the sails, tie everything down, head for the airport in Cabo, and catch a first class flight to someplace exciting where there is lots of golf, wine, chocolate, a 6 burner stove, and a blender for the "ritas ;-)
In the words of our friend Jimmy Buffett
(From If the Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me)
I've had good days and bad days
And going half mad days
I try to let go but you all are still on my mind
I've lost all the old ways
I'm searching for new plays
Putting it all on the line.
If it takes all the future
We'll live through the past
If the phone doesn't ring, it's me
I must be off....The Captain, Mr. Magic
