Hi folks
Killer day, glad it's over. I lent a friend my copy of A Choir of Ill Children and she seemed excited to read it. I'm gonna totally read into that so it means she loves me. I figure if I lie to myself enough, I'll believe it and life with magically get better. And it'll make the fiction I write even gooder. |

What I really want is something I saw last summer. It was an inflatable kayak, but sturdy looking and with two seats. Great for compact camping - I don't drive an SUV after all - and something easy to maneuver.

I like boats. Boats go places. I wish I had a boat and money to use it. |

I love cruising through http://www.yachtworld.com once in a while just to scope out the great deals. I have a dream of owning something nice like that one day.

Soapy, I think we have a deal. I've always wanted something private so I could run around naked and invent my own language. They won't let me do it here in town.

I started checking on various islands in the US and realized that Wisconsin has islands for sale. Very nice. When I win the lottery, I'll have to buy one and invite everybody to come stay with me for a writer's retreat.

Alaska has some, too. See, this is why I need a good ship. I found one once. It was a retired NOAA research vessel with a hull specially fit for icebergs. I wanted it very badly but since I'm me--no money. Sadly, somebody else bought it and I'm sure they're using it for all kinds of fun stuff.

I have to say, both those sites are curiously addictive.
I may come to hate you both for this later.

This is close to what I want, but a bit too "civilian".
I want this one! This one worked on the research of the Titanic |

Think of it as food for dreams and doing research in case you write a character that is very wealthy.
