Some of you… the ones that don’t know me very well… might be tempted to think that I am exaggerating when I say I am going to wear my new pirate hat everywhere. Oh ye of little faith, here is me doing one of yesterday’s posts…
And here is a ‘selfie’ that I took whilst driving to pick my oldest daughter up at the airport…
I am excited because even though she came to town to work at a wedding, she is going to help me send the new children’s book to the publisher.
I like the hat and sunglasses combo. And I have learned one important fact about this kind of hat. You would think that pirates, who were out in the sun all day, would have adopted a hat that keeps the sun out of their eyes as they scan the horizon for ships to plunder. But the narrow, pointed front of these hats does not do this at all. Maybe pirates weren’t as smart as we wish they might have been, which might account for choosing a life of crime.
I had Jessica take one picture of me at the San Diego International Airport…
And she got so caught up in the whole pirate thing that when we got home, she made me take a picture of her wearing the hat…
That is how you rock a pirate hat… Now give it back… I have stuff to do…
Pouring My Art Out 
You are such a cool person. And when I say cool I really mean freaking awesome.
You are going to give me a swelled head… uh… so to speak…
Your assistant pirate certainly rocks that hat.
I told her you said that and she is quite pleased with herself.
Her pic means you actually did take it off…ha caught you. I see you’re still being blinded by the beeds..
beads… not beeds… pirate? You barely speak English…
i know i’m completely exhausted today
Me too.
you are?
Perhaps
Yes, the hat is important and all… but have you spent any time figuring out what flag you are going to fly?
The rainbow skull and crossbones… all inclusive piracy!
Your new hat looks better from the side than from the front. Maybe you should stuff a little tissue paper in the front to make it look a little fuller?
We do not question the captain’s choice in hats!
AHOOOOY! I haven’t visited your site in a LONG time, but I couldn’t have a better timing 🙂 I looove pirates! I also had a pirate hat. I say “had” as I don’t know where it is. It was from my dad, but I can’t find it anymore. Such rudeness.
Yo ho yo ho…a pirate’s life for me!!! *clinks with rum bottle*
A pirate hat getting stolen is just cruel irony…
Hehehe very true 🙂
We will plunder you a new one.
Aye, aye sir! *runs around collects: sword, eye patch, wig, rum bottle, hook, wig, rum bottle*
Don’t forget the parrot…
He’s sitting on your head…
*Polly wants a cracker…*
I got a parrot on my head and a monkey on my back.
This is normal. Regular hats are boring.
Not the way I wear them…
I believe you!
good
Excellent. Why? Because you rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Welcome aboard, me hearty.
Look forward to sailing with you Captain.
You say that now.
One vote for Jessica as pirate captain. That other guy… Well as for that other guy, methinks he would make a fabulous anchor.
You need an anchor because you are adrift.
That is a whale of a comment.
It isn’t a sperm whale is it???
Did you just pojaculate by any chance? I hear that’s going around.
I did it twice… I rejaculated.
That’s repojaculated, actually.
No it isn’t.
I’m pretty sure it is. But you may want to run that by Susan to make she approves. She coined the phrase.
I never run.
Could you perchance swagger?
I can’t help doing that.
You should dye the beard and stache to match the hat hair…
Pirates don’t care if the curtains match the carpet…
