Dear Reader,
My husband is a boat fanatic. I love him dearly, but when he gets around boats he loses his mind, and there's not a rational thought left in his brain. A tired, old, boat that looks like someone should take a match to and put out of its misery, is merely a fixer-upper in his eyes.
Over the years he's owned: Lilly, a steel tug boat; motorboats; and numerous sailboats--one was even in a motion picture. Yes, they all have stories behind them, but usually they're disaster stories, with expensive endings.
He's had this sickness for years. In fact, ten years ago when we decided to move from Wisconsin to Florida his dream was to live on a 52-foot sailboat. I tried to identify--was this a guy's way of playing house, or a big floating tree fort on the water? I couldn't really relate, but I could tell it meant a lot to him, so I agreed to live on a boat for one year. The boat deal fell through--thank heavens--but the good news is that to this day, I still get brownie points for agreeing to do it.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

P.S. Christopher Reeve said, "So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable." In memory of him I invite you to sample his audio book, "Nothing Is Impossible".
