The Pirate Princess

Once upon a time, there was a Pirate Princess. She was clever and brave, often tricking her opponents into making foolish mistakes. Her exploits became the stuff of legend.

One day, her ship ran into a terrible storm and sank. Her crew drowned. She was eaten by sharks.

The end.

Yet here I am.

I don't want to be in the office today.

Also, it's my nephew's birthday today. I believe he's turning 18.

When I got to the church where the BOR took place, I also got a notification the other Eagle Scout's credentials had come in.

So now I've got to get one Eagle's paperwork down to the SHAC office so he can get his credentials, while picking up the other Eagle's credentials. Luckily, another adult in our troop works at the SHAC office, so I might be able to get him to do it.

It was fun. Other than the district representative, two of the chicks on our committee sat the board with me. They're both super cool.

Hey, though! We have another new Eagle Scout in our troop. He passed his Board of Review last night. I know, because I was on it.

Which could be expensive.

It's possible it could be time for a new mouthguard.

I think this time, however, I'll avoid going to my original TMJ specialist. My dentist's office treats it as well, and they're much closer to the house.

And that my TMJ has been acting up again. Very annoying. Bordering on downright unpleasant.

For no particular reason, other than it's not Friday.

Stoopid Thursdays.

Black Sails is an American historical adventure television series set on New Providence Island and written to be a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's 1883 novel Treasure Island. The series was created by Jonathan E. Steinberg and Robert Levine for Starz. It debuted online for free on YouTube and other various streaming platform and video-on-demand services on January 18, 2014. The debut on cable television followed a week later on January 25, 2014. Steinberg is executive producer, alongside Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, while Michael Angeli, Doris Egan, and Levine are co-executive producers. The show features treasure-seeking pirates fending off British government attempts to stop them.

On July 26, 2013, Starz renewed the show for a ten-episode second season, which premiered on January 24, 2015. The early renewal, six months before the first season premiered, was based on the positive fan reaction to the show at the San Diego Comic-Con. The series was renewed for a third season on October 12, 2014, and a fourth season on July 31, 2015, both before the respective previous seasons had premiered. On July 20, 2016, Starz announced that the series' fourth season would be its last; the season premiered on January 29, 2017, and the series concluded on April 2, 2017.

I love when the project manager waits until the last minute mention we need to do demo drawings for the project.

Saturday afternoon, the family is going to some special showing of a Harry Potter movie, where they have an orchestra to play the score. While I enjoy the Harry Potter movies and books (and recent video game), this was my wife's idea.

So the boy and I will do that Saturday morning.

Luckily, one of the local districts is running a canoeing and kayaking event at a local park/preserve they oversee. And they've graciously offered to have canoes brought in just for the troop to use.

The scout troop's last school year camping trip was supposed to be this weekend. Unfortunately, the park we were going to has been closed due to flooding.

And now that the wife and have finished the available episodes of Superman and Lois, I don't know what to watch.

After work today, I've got another Eagle Board of Review. That should be fun.

Just on a different computer.

And now I'm in the first meeting of the day.

Busy morning already. I had a ton of emails waiting for me, most of which were just of the "reply all" variety.

There were a handful that required attention, however.

First Look At David Corenswet In Costume As Superman Revealed

While I remain very cautiously pessimistic about most future superhero movies, I find some small glimmer of hope in this picture of the new Superman actor in the suit. They've got the red trunks again, which is cool. Very traditional.

That said, I'm not too thrilled with the entire cast. Lex is cool. And I like the guy they got for Mr. Terrific. But do they really need Hawk Girl and Guy Gardner?

Michael Cudlitz (born December 29, 1964) is an American actor known for portraying John Cooper in the NBC/TNT drama series Southland for which he won the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2013, Sergeant Denver "Bull" Randleman in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers, and Sergeant Abraham Ford in the AMC horror series The Walking Dead.

MMmmmmm...donuts.

Almost time to make the donuts.

They did the same thing with that Titans show. Wasted a great actor on just a few episodes as Lex Luthor.

Plus, it's kind of a waste of a good actor.

The wife and I are nearly done with the available episodes of Superman and Lois. Just one more episode to go. It's a shame they didn't try to get more Lex Luthor into it. The greatest Superman villain. His archnemesis, and you reduce him to 2 episodes. Seriously?!?

In the evening, at least.

Hopefully, I'll get to slow down a bit on Thursday.

On the other, other hand, this is going to be another busy beginning of the week for me. Sunday was busy because....ME DAY. Monday was work, then as troop committee meeting in the evening. Today is work and a regular troop meeting in the evening. Tomorrow is work (form home at least) and an Eagle Board of Review in the evening.

Except for right near the end, when I was taking the u-turn under the overpass. Some little wuss right in front of me decided to take the same u-turn very slowly.

On the other hand, pulling out of my subdivision onto the main road, there were a bunch of cars coming. I managed to get out ahead of them all, however, which lead to a quite pleasant drive to work.

Ugh. Tuesday.

And I had to show off some of my Me Day gifts.

Had to take a break to greet people. There was much news to spread to all the people who were wimps and let the weather keep them from coming in on Friday.

My poor baby girl. She tried to make me a little box using the skills she's learned in her pottery class. It wasn't turning out the way she wanted, which made her very sad. So she made me a little paper hear with "Love you dad" on it.

I have that up in my cubicle as well, right next to her other paintings she made for me.
