Thanks for your comment on "obsessed with school". You made an excellent point; we really don't know the people in our own community the way we used to.

one image that stands out to me, all these years later: the scene with the cabin boy, exiting the captain's quarters.

man that was messed-up.

i believe capoeira came into that tale at some point, too.

wow: "came into that tale". considering the cabin boy reference...
