On the Wind – Victoria, BC – [10/12/2018]

Posted on October 12, 2018 by GypsyShaughnessy

You still can’t hear them. It’s all right. It’s still all right. You never can. We know that, we always have. You still look at us like we’re crazy. We’re not, we never have been; any more than you are. … Continue reading →

Literary Punishment – Juneau, Alaska – [08/12/2015]

Posted on August 16, 2015 by GypsyShaughnessy

Of all the fantasy authors out there, CS Lewis still strikes me as the cruelest. Not necessarily to his readers, but to his characters. I am sure that there are those who would argue that someone like GRR Martin would … Continue reading →

Can You Hear? – [10/03/2014]

Posted on October 3, 2014 by GypsyShaughnessy

Finding the Wor(l)ds – Victoria – [12/15/2013]

Posted on December 15, 2013 by GypsyShaughnessy

Posted on August 5, 2013 by GypsyShaughnessy

Blank – At Sea – [03/22/2012]

Posted on March 23, 2012 by GypsyShaughnessy

This entry really doesn’t fit here at all, since it has nothing to do with work, or the ocean, or the cruising industry, or anything to do with anything really. This is a purely personal need to share my frustration … Continue reading →

Introductions

Posted on February 27, 2011 by GypsyShaughnessy
