Oh yeah, hey wilson, what are you studying? What's your dissertation topic?

I know the answer to this but it escapes me at the moment.

That is correct! I now have lots of boxes to unpack.

Actually, I was REALLY tempted to saran wrap and then duct tape his two cars together. May still do it. He's parking 2 cars in a 1-car space and insisting that they don't take up any more space than one vehicle, so why not make them one vehicle?

Thanks, Tilly! Are you still doing the unpacking/decorating thing, too?

Welcome back from Hawaii!

I study early America, with a heavy bent toward Atlantic history (though I'm still trying to avoid totally hitching my wagon to that trend). My dissertation will be about intercolonial commerce through the port of Charleston between roughly the 1730s and 1750s.

Yes, yes I am. My goal Memorial Day weekend is to paint the living room and arrange furniture the way I want it and start hanging things. The weekend after I hope to paint the dining room and get that room settled, then I can finish the back bedroom. It all sounds easy, but I suspect it won't be.

Hawaii was AWESOME. I hope you get a chance to read my post in my Hawaiian adventure thread.

ArkieDukie, I'm so happy for you!

Thanks! I've asked twice now, in two different threads. You can ignore the other one.

Hmmm, were pirates a problem?

Shouldn't that be - Yes! Bruins force game 7!!!

Go B's!

Hmmm, were pirates a problem?

By the 1730s, Atlantic piracy had actually more or less died out...that golden age lasted from the extreme late 1600s through 1720 or so. Actually, in the early decades of English presence in South Carolina, pirates were rather important trading partners for some people. Pirates did wreak some havoc in the Carolinas---Blackbeard, for example, famously blockaded Charleston in 1718. He also kept a sizable estate in eastern NC, but he was actually quite well-liked in that area (in fact, he helped give the ECU Pirates their nickname...ask me about that some other time).

I suck at Scramble, and now I suck at Scrabble. Anyone want an automatic win, invite me on FB.

FWIW, the pirate colony of Libertalia is today known as Antsiranana, Madagascar, where I will be reporting from in a matter of a few weeks. The provincial seal sports a pirate ship with drawn swords.

No sign of wilson's ancestors there. AAARRRR!!

It all depends on your point of view. If these bears win, I bow most graciously.
