A gift.

Greetings all.

I am in a fantastic mood today and yet I have to write yet another venomous blog post. somehow though it just isn't in me today. I have thought long and hard about my tone and content in this blog and I am glad I have this place. It adds to the security that I can say what I want without too many people giving me shit for it.

But the pirates life isn't all just slitting throats. There is a time when the battle is won that you can drink and dance and be merry. Today is one of those days.

I have made some victories and can feel freedom in my grasp. I have slain some enemies and received riches in turn.

It is soon time to drink copiously and dance til I fall down. To sing songs and to laugh deeply like I haven't laughed in a long time. Soon It will be time to set sail again and fight more battles but today...today is calm waters and rejoicing.

Today is what all the fighting was for. For love and freedom. Is there anything better?

With deep and abiding affection,
Gabriel
