[edit] A comment
Seeing your self description, I think I would like you if we met. May you prosper. Your words bring two poems to mind http://ithaca.rice.edu/kz/Misc/Ithaka.html http://www.web-books.com/Classics/Poetry/Anthology/Hardy/Afterwards.htm My mentor was Denys Rayner who designed the boat I sailed, with my - now - old friend, Sue Pulford, acroos the Atlantic. Now I sail unambitiously in the Ionian, a little closer to Ithaka, a husband and parent with shaky knees from much cycling. Memories are good - buoys (have I spelled that rite?), even anchors.

[edit] Thanksgiving
Posted a reply to you on Talk:Thanksgiving. I agree the articles need merging, if you're willing to do the work, all the better :P Lejman (talk) 22:37, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Circumnavigation
Sure, I clarified that James Cook died before his third circumnavigation could be completed. Happy editing. :) —Lowellian (reply) 22:30, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, it depends on how you look at it. Ferdinand Magellan is widely considered the first person to circumnavigate the world, but he actually died before his circumnavigation; his crew finished the circumnavigation for him. Similarly, James Cook died before his third circumnavigation, but his crew finished the circumnavigation for him. —Lowellian (reply) 01:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I changed the wording on the circumnavigation article again to try to further clarify the situation with Cook. —Lowellian (reply) 00:50, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
