I dare you to do this shot: THE STUNTMAN... first pour a shot of tequila. SNORT a line of SALT, down the tequila, then squirt lime in YOUR EYE.

Last night Jes, Hannah and I had cuban pork sandwiches and later went to Les Faux, a star quality drag show on Capitol HIl. The most excellent Kylie Minogue and Liza Minelli of Cabaret impersonator chatted us up forever outside. She was incredible. And beautiful. I could never do my makeup that well.
In other news, this blog no longer represents who I am. Actually it never did. Things they are a-changin' so say adios to the all aKIMbo blog. It's been a long four years.
Work Party
Today I hosted a work party aboard the schooner for about 6 hours. Five people showed up, and one more was going to come after work but I called it quits. Here's a pic of one of my deckhands from work, Nick, aloft for the first time, tarring ratlines and ratboards. He was stoked. Travis, a state trooper from Brownsville, came over with Jonathan and helped clean the bilge. I oiled the decks and did some tarring. Ben W. helped me with the oiling when he arrived, and Josh did some major bilge scupper unclogging. Then we drank beer.
I'm glad I used teak oil instead of pine tar on the decks. It was the right thing to do. Those decks soaked up the oil right away, too.
FINALLY
Personal Plan for Improvement
Someone close to me recently told me that I made him feel like shit with some comments I made. Nanette says I've become less and less positive. I think it's time for an attitude makeover and I think it all starts with me feeling better about myself and my pursuits.
Here's my plan:
What needs improvement = The plan to achieve this
I feel flighty and stupid lately = Study my seamanship books, take the Diesel Theory class, read more, get my AB ticket.
I look older and not so great sometimes = Take better care of my skin, get a haircut, get more toned, dress up sometimes!
No creative pursuits = Work on the calendar, the teeshirts, and JT #4
I'm uptight and overanalytical = Yoga, reading, more social stuff
Need more focus = Mexico, Lavengro
And always, always remember how much I love my friends and how awful it is to ever make them feel bad.
