Stories of Yesteryear
Aphorism Alert: Your competition isn't other people. Your competition is your procrastination, your ego, the unhealthy food you're consuming, the knowledge you neglect, and the negative behavior you're nurturing. Compete against that.

The Writer's Block by guest authors

These are previously posted -- for new, you'll have to come visit again.
My home is not fancy by any means, however you cannot imagine how wonderful it is to come back to her after an expedition on shore.
If I can live this life, why not you too?
Skipper, First Mate extraordinaire
Every gift helps.
The Cruising Kitty is what boaters refer to as spending money. There's never enough aboard Seaweed!
