My Pirate Name


My pirate name is:
Black Jack Rackham





Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

Look What I Found

I was just tapping away at the "next blog" button, and came upon a blog that linked to this. Someone else went through this craze, though on a much more sophisticated intellectual level, a year ago.

Also, this guy is from Maine!

Meanwhile back at the no-tell motel


I'd really like to drive the story line forward, with the obvious threats looming for Mark and Samantha as they catch on to what Councilman Craven and Buzzard are up to with Randi Rocket, but in his long-experienced wisdom, Cap'n Jack takes a more leisurely pace. So, it's time for more childish innuendoes and non-sequiturs.

A Little History

Dark Trail travelers may be interested to know the reason it is The Dark Trail. In my late teens I read a Louis L'Amour western called Ride the Dark Trail. "Logan Sackett had been riding the dark trail since who flung the chunk," in L'Amour-speak.
So you see, the Dark Trail may lead to many places and many times; just keep traveling.
