[Rhodes22-list] Happy New Year to the Fleet

[BenCittadino]

John;

My pro football season is more than OVER after today's final nightmare in
Minnesota. I'm so aggravated I can barely see straight.

Please sign Susan Kay (the person, not the boat) and me up for the first
cruise on The Terrible Boat. I really would love to see that. Thank goodness
my spouse doesn't read this stuff. She hates being reminded of her
cheerleader days (something to do with her now being a "fancy pants" lawyer
herself and a cheerleader history being inappropriate for "running with the
wolves"). Anyhow she was class of 1970 (poli sci) (like me, but of course I
was at Duke U. and not a Duquesne "Duke"). Her parents grew up in New
Kensington.

I've got to get some photos of the boat in her winter mode. Art made a cover
for her, and I've been meaning to let the fleet see it. I'll work on that
next week when I get back to the Garden State and away from this land of
fruits and nuts. The weather here is too nice. It's almost unAmerican.

Ben; 

I think Pittsburgh leases its share of solar output this time of year in
exchange for "carbon credits".

When did your wife attend Duquesne? I was there in the mid 80's getting my
bachelors in music.

 I haven't launched on the three rivers yet. When I replace the genoa in
another year or so the master plan is to take both the old sails (I saved
the old main) dye one black one gold, print THE TERRIBLE BOAT across them
with 2' high lettering. motor by the stadium with both sails out and the
terrible towel flying from the pennant line. That should get the blimps
attention,however, don't count on the snow flying unless we get some in
October or so. Delilah is currently resting warm and dry in the Wampum
limestone mine which with all the boats, RV's, cars and bikes stored there
could be considered the ultimate man-cave. 

Enjoy the California sun

John;

At the moment I'm basking in the sun in Southern California.

As for the Susan Kay, she's looking stately as ever on the asphalt on
stanchions on the banks of the Shrewsbury River in NJ.

I'd forgotten you are a Pittsburgh guy. My wife is a former Duquesne
cheerleader. We get out there from time to time. Have you sailed in any of
the "three rivers"? I'd enjoy a TV Blimp shot of your sailboat during a
snowy Steelers game.

Happy New Year 

Stay Warm,

Ben "fancy pants!!?" C
