MARBLEHEAD GREAT RACE TO RETURN IN 2011

AN INCREDIBLE PARTY TO END THE SEASON

What can I begin to say about the incredible time I had at last nights Season Ender at Eileen Perrys home? First my sincere thanks to Eileen for hosting the Motley crew of pirates. You take your life (and your home) at risk when you agree to host us and hopefully we did not inflict too much damage to either. Food, Food and more food. I of course made it my duty as "the captn'" to sample as many as the provisions as possible but even I fell short of my responsibility. There was just too much to go around! (I sense a RnR cookbook somewhere in our future). And the costumes of characters could fill their own page starting with your fearless leader Paulie. He took it to the next level complete with a real set of roses ringing his head. Lady GaGa ( you know who you are). I think you look marvelous as a blond. Gail loved the oufit and yes I was afraid everytime you should me those "undies"!! Everyone was dressed in their best pirate (or parrot) attire and it all just added to the festivities. A special congrats to those award recepients this year. It seems that this addicting sport has taken a major bite into all of our psyche. I think we will have a very strong presence in next year's Blackburn Challenge. But I degress. My last shout out goes to Thomas Vogel who provided us with a wonderful slide show of our 2010 season and brought closure as well as laughter and some tears of this crazy club we call RocknRow. My sincere thanks for all the hard work you put into the project
BTW I found the following circulating around the party last night and thought it worth reprinting for all you lady pirates
