  • It’s Later Than You Think

    One thing I absolutely love about being married is that my CD collection has spontaneously doubled. Every now and then, I comment how I’d really like to purchase a certain album, only to have Matt go, “Don’t buy that! I have it!” It’s pleasing to know that my husband has good taste in music.

    On the Ancient Wall of China
    where a Brooding Buddha Blinks
    Deeply graven is the message
    “It is later than you think”

    The Clock of Life is wound but once
    And No Man has the Power
    To tell just when the hands will stop
    …. At Late or Early Hour

    Now is All the Time you Own
    The Past a Golden Link
    Go Cruising now My Brother
    “It’s Later than you Think!”

    — Captain B.

    The Oar Club is a group of guys who strongly believe that true sailors do not use engines on their sailboats. Jerome FitzGerald insists that there is a difference between “sailors” and “motor-sailors.”
