Oh ....the little lady just bought me a T-shirt with sculls and
crossbones on it, but it says "the beatings will continue until morale
improves"

Who said it first?

Don't know. I first heard it from Donna Triplett in 1986. Texas Instruments
was looking for something to demonstrate their new color printer at COMDEX,
and Donna suggested it. They printed several thousand ... and ran out.

Thanks for editing my signature, but it's really not necessary.

BTW: Do you know Ben Miller in Kemah? Is he still alive?

As some of you may know I am new to sailing. I am also building an
outrigger sailing canoe.

I sailed one of these once. No offense intended, but it was one of
the dumbest ideas I've seen. I'd rather sail a Mac-26, and everyone
knows how much I hate those boats. Do yourself a favor and get
a real sailboat.

more people lined up for sailing. If any of you are in the Orange
county or L.A. County area and want someone to teach about sailing in
return for a free crew member or maybe a case of beer now and then let
me know.

Try this place to learn to sail.

That's my sailing news and I am sure you will all start to rip me
apart for something but at least it is related and we can get back to
talking about sailing.

Glad to have you part of the group Bill. Any sailing topic posting
is welcome.
