HMS Paradise officer: Mister Calamy. There's something that might interest you here. Look. The captain carved that. When he was a mid, no more than your age. He's known this ship man and boy. He says there's enough of his blood in the woodwork for the ship almost to be a relation.

I had that dream again about the house I bought in South Carolina back in the early '90s. I loved that place, it was quiet and relaxing. That house is always the central element in dreams I have sometime. There are usually variations to the situation, but the house is always there. And there is usually another element to the dream. In the dream, I discover that I still own the house and I can go back there any time I want, even at the very moment I realize it is still there. It is a great feeling to know I can sleep there that very night if I want to.

That scene made me feel so lonely the woman in the seat in front of me turned around to look at me and it was Russell Crowe's performance that reminded me I was not where I should be.

I was probably flying with the Blue Angels when I was a Midshipman, as I have written, and I might have been the Commanding Officer at some point. As I was writing that, I thought about some thoughts I have been having lately about a plot element to Russell Crowe’s “Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World.” There was something about how he had served on that ship in his younger days and then came back to command the ship. I have been wondering what ship that could be for me, but I just had the thought maybe it was the Blue Angels. I went to see that movie some time in February 2004 after I quit Microsoft and before I moved to Spokane and I sensed it had something to do with me but I couldn’t explain what it was.

All I want to know....
I just want to know one simple thing: When do I get to become an Islander?
Ellen, never. Never.
You're not born here, you're not an Islander. That's it.
