Did you know you can still travel across the ocean as a passenger on a boat?

Information

I have booked passage in a spare berth on a German freighter leaving from a port in Long Beach headed to Sydney, Australia. It'll be twenty-one days at sea with nothing to do but write the book I've been saying I'm going to write for the last three years. As a kid I read way too many Jack London and Herman Melville books so this is the sort of thing that appeals to my sense of adventure and turns on my creative flow.

The ship embarks on 16 February 2012. Needless to say I am pretty amped.

how much did you pay?

in sodomy...

the crew is filipino not german so it won't be quite as painful

sorry jayflip

21 days to write a book??

That's a hell of a deadline

The core of it is written already. This will be about arranging it and adding in what needs to be added. Still plenty to do but at this point it's more about getting three weeks of uninhibited creative process to pound out the rest (everything I've written thus far has been during a journey of some sort, I enter some weird state of writer's block when I'm at home or consumed with my job.)

Holy crap at the bottom it says beware of pirates!

Became a VERY interesting trip.

modern piracy is generally concentrated on several areas of the african coast, the malacca strait in malaysia, several areas in indonesia, and some southeast asian coastlines. the only landfall will be in new zealand - not much to speak of there.

if i want something extraordinary i'm going to have to hope a bigass kracken tries to sink the ship.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
