A diversion from productivity or technology

Sampson revealed to the world
that I was celebrating an anniversary
of my 29th birthday. July is a
month full of birthdays in our home. Recently, I helped two of my
daughters celebrate their Wiggles
Theme birthday. Kathy "volunteered" me to be Captain
Feathersword, the fun-loving,
kindhearted, singing and dancing pirate. So for the Sampson family, here
I am as the captain...
I love watching pirate movies.
In fact, just last night, Kathy and I watched the Pirates of Tortuga.
I have a large collection of pirate movies I like to watch, including,
Pirates of the Caribbean, Crimson Pirate, and even the VeggieTales
Pirates who don't do anything. I have no problem dressing up to
play the part of a pirate, but I draw the line at a dancing pirate. (I
have my professional image to maintain.)
For those of you who may be unfamiliar
with The Wiggles, they are a group of entertainers from Australia, who
for the past 13 years have been entertaining children, young and old[er],
as they encourage them to eat their fruit salad, hot potatoes, cold spaghetti,
mashed bananas, and crunchy munchy honey cakes.
The Wiggles are quite popular in our
home, surpassed only by the VeggieTales.
(That's another story!) If you have children under the age of 6 in your
home, then you have an excuse to watch the wiggles. Highly recommended.
Oh, thanks for the birthday greeting, Michael!

... an "anniversary of your 29th birthday" ... that is a delightful way of putting it. I'm still laughing.

Dancing pirate could be fun. I would'n mind doing that. It would look silly with my spectacles over the eye-patch but not as silly as if I were a dancing fairy :-)

Well, I suppose the Pirates danced in Pirates of Penzance, so I guess it could work.
