Hail to you,
It has been such a long summer…I put
over five thousand miles on Quick Silver in six weeks…sorry I have not been
around much…life has been good, just really busy…grab you a cold soda from the
cooler, prop your feet up and I will fill you in…
American Boudica has grown…we have
produced more academic work and art…we have also set up videos on the website…book
1 in the Boudica series has been rereleased with a new publisher…we will be
closed until 9/5 as I will be in final comprehensive exams, Rose will be at jewelry
shows and Chris is investing time to help Grimm and Co…we will be excited to
return…this will be great, as we will soon release our next children’s book and
our new book in the American Boudica anthology…
Nature’s Power and Energy is being
handled by Alex until I return in September…we are awaiting new from the
examiner on the patent for the HydroQueen…Project Phoenix has begun…yes, Alex
has a dartboard with my face on it (lots of laughs)…I am still looking for a 3D
printer that has good reviews…
D’s Detail is being handled by Walter
until my return in September…the new cover looks good…we have been working on many
lease returns as well as daily drivers…if you live in or around Pasco you have probably
seen my work…join us on twitter
We have been busy building the other
businesses (Walking with Pirates, American Boudica Productions, Girly Pirate
Lunch Box, the Vacation Project)…it takes a lot to get things going but, we expect
to have news on the launch(s) starting in November…
School has had me on the run…in July,
I went to my third and final residency…I have completed all my required coarse work...YEA!!!…from
Aug. 28 – Sept. 3, I will be undergoing final comprehensive exams…I will not
answer and phones, e-mails and taking no meetings until this is complete as it
will require my full attention…thank you all for respecting and understanding
how hard this will be for me…after this, I will complete my dissertation…ten
years of work will finish with a Doctorate…yes, I too am amazed
At the Sunshine Paddle, we are now up
to 15 Donation drops for the year…along with the shelters and food bank, we
have been gifting the local schools…in July we made a trip to Massachusetts…the
Northern office is now opened and we have added a new boat the ‘Reservoir Rover’…all
of this was done in a Paddle for Bobby…we welcomed Bobby, Dana, Tory, Brittany,
and Deanna to the Crew…we did a Girly Pirate appearance on the Rainbow River in
Dunnellon and went tubin…too much fun…
Dominos has been fun…never knew part
of my job description involved catching loose cows or helping older ladies
learn to play ‘pokemon go’…when school is over and I go to move into a position
where I will use my degree, this is a place I will look back on fondly…I work
with a great group of people – I am really blessed…
The pool has been kept busy…dad has
even been taking meals in it…the gardens have been overgrown as I have been on
the run…Walter has been doing his best just to keep up with the lawn…we have
plans for a proper chicken coop and Walter is busy constructing it…still no
luck finding a vanilla bean orchid yet…for my birthday (51) this year, I will
be going to pan for gold…yes, I will take pics and video
Changes are happening…an old part of
life will make way for new adventures…this is something I will embrace…I am
happy you are here to share it with me…my friend the world is a great place,
don’t let your past or negative people change that for you…see you in September
Blessed Be,
Captain D
