Now I gotta ask, how much wind and what sea state at that point.

If I'd finished my pilot's license and had an extra million I could be travelling with my OWN plane, sigh.

Oh, right, I meant to mention that because I suspected you'd be interested. Seas were 2.5m (8 feet) and the wind was in excess of 30kts, which was causing a surface chop running in a different direction than the swells. The ship was both pitching and rolling -- not a lot, but enough, I guess. I had felt myself coming down with a slight cold the day before, so I suspect falling ill was a combination of feeling run down to begin with and then a little bit too much motion in multiple angles.

You took flying lessons? How far did you progress? Were you close to soloing? Do you ever consider... well, we often consider picking up things we set aside in the past, don't we? Then we do the math and realize just how long ago it was.

8 February - A Doll A Day 2025:

Khloë, the new drummer for Vagabond's House.

Having a dedicated drummer will allow Jade to focus on keyboards.

"Wait!" you might be asking. "Khloë? Jade? Vagabond's House?"

Vagabond's House (or should it be Vagabonds' House? How many vagabonds are there, and whose house is it?) is the name of a one-sixth scale action figure band I was putting together a while back -- let me see, how long has it been? Spring of 2021, so it's been four years since we last saw the band... at which time, I see, it was called Vagabonds' House. D*mmit, I'm gonna have to change the insert on the drum kit. Or change the name of the band. Maybe drop the apostrophe altogether. I don't know.

Anyway, the band was a trio: Sasha aka Sashabella, Jade aka Jayde Holly, and Yasmin Clarke aka Yazz E. Claire. Jade was the drummer, but her specialty is actually keyboard and piano, so the band has needed a drummer to free up Jade to focus on keyboards.

The characters are one-sixth scale TBLeague action figures based on the Bratz dollz who appeared in my "Dolly Dungeon" Bratz doll story several years ago.

Anyway, this is Cloë aka Khloë, the new drummer for Vagabond's' House.

What kind of music do they play? Loud music. Yasmin wants it to be a Thrash Death Punk Metal band. Jade has more artistic sensibilities but she's willing to play along to hang out with her friends. Sasha is there to meet guys. Cloë was drafted and we'll see if she sticks around or not.

How'zat for TMI?
