great news

we just sold the last of the whales to a young couple who is not sure they are ready to have kids yet so they wanted to try out caring for and nurturing a living being first. im sure they'll be great parents. the whale they got is a 50 foot long sperm whale that weighs about 47 tons. i guess taking care of an animal of that size for a while to practice for a baby is like warming up in the batter's box by swinging two bats. it's name is harvey but i told the newleyweds that they could change the name if they wanted.
so we're pretty much finished here. the chimneys are clean as a whistle. i was quite happy with the chimney sweep and i highly recomend him. he was 6'5" and was constantly spinning around in complete fear thinking someone was sneaking up on him. he was always so relieved that there was no one there.
i sent my mother, larry a letter. actually, it was more of a death threat. i also said to tell jim i say 'hi'. he's my dad.
all the crew is back on the ship with their various stupid souvenirs. i just have one last thing i need to do. i had a lovely time at the mayor's eleven day cocktail party and dinner with the young lady i met at the midwife. i just have to bury her and then i'm back out to the open sea for more adventures and whaling!
