Earl

[kestrell]

Battening down for Earl, which in my case mostly means finding something appropriate to read: should I go with something creepy or something seaworthy? I'm still on something of a piratical kick of late, although most things seem kind of boring after the Henry Morgan biography _Empire of Blue Water_ and Chris Moore's book _Island of the Sequined Love Nun_, but _And a Bottle of Rum_, the cultural history of rum which I am currently reading, does a pretty good job. I will try to post a piratical overview soonish, since Talk Like a Pirate Day is coming up in a couple of weeks and some folks might be wanting to do a little research.

I do have a copy of _Or Else My Lady Keeps the Key_, which is set in Port Royal and which I downloaded from Bookshare, although I don't know if it is a Company novel. I'll ask Alexx about the pirate character, as he has read most of the Co. novels and is good at remembering which character is in which book, a skill at which I totally fail (except for _Sky Coyote_, which I loved--I would love to have prosthetic coyote ears!).
