You guys won't believe this.

My copy came last night. The envelope was cut open. Like clean cut. As though with scissors. The magazine and envelope came in a plastic bag with a note from Canada Post - We apologize for the damage to your delivery...

I think the mail man must have done some reading...

With his black patch over one eye, parrot on the shoulder and peg leg, You probably should have suspected him earlier.

I got both of mine the other day. Usually I get the preview copy several days before the regular post copy. Those of us who are editors get an early copy, the secretary gets like 6 early copies. This was an unusual month for contributions. The web site we submit to went down and caused a real problem for some people. I had sent everything via email to two different people, the publisher and the editor, otherwise there would not have been anything from me either.

I wonder if MAINSHEET sounds suspicious to a person who knows nothing about sailing. The pointy heads at the border might have suspected that you are KKK or a drug dealer or a drunk that couldn't pronounce Main Street.

I was actually hoping to get some feedback about the article my friend wrote that I might be able to pass on to him.

I have yet to see mine? I do need to put in a change of address, and why am I not the Capri 25 Tech Editor listed on this site? Have I been replaced without notice?

Read it, loved it. Good narrative.
It is always comforting to hear someone else's blunders and woes - having initiated and carried out so many of my own.

Bobby's a great guy, and we've had a lot of good-natured fun ribbing him about that night. Last summer, he organized a pirate-themed birthday party for his son, Duncan, complete with a group of us sailing to a somewhat isolated beach across the lake for a buried treasure hunt and swim. It was fun and the kids had a ball.

My daughter read this story and reminded me of the time I locked her in the camper. (i'd forgotten about this saga, it happened so long ago)

I bought my first camper many moons ago, it was an 8' truck camper that fit perfectly into the bed of my pick-up.
My daughter and a neighbour's kid were in there playing while I was proudly showing it off to my neighour. I shut the rear door of the camper then shut the tail-gate of the truck, effectively locking them in there. The truck was in my front yard, in the driveway. My neighbour and I decided to go sit in his backyard and drink beer. Several hours later our frantic wives called the police. The kids thought it was hilarious. So did I a couple years later.
