Congratulations Matt!!
Hmmmm...would the same go for the first pilgrims and the Indians that were here??
So we are all kinda like pirates.....
I know - and I'm just letting off steam about something that has always just really puzzled me. How did pirates become cute and funny? The world still deals with piracy - and the results aren't pretty.
But then how did it become a playacting game?

I'd guess it started with Halloween and Hollywood.

Hollywood for sure made pirates cool. Thanks Disney....
I've been knitting a hat, as usual, and it has been progressing nicely. At about 80% done it looked really nice, and was getting lots of compliments.
Somehow, yesterday, I dropped a stitch. It's something that has to be fixed, or the whole pattern looks "off". I couldn't find the problem, and started un-knitting it, stitch by stitch, trying to locate it.
In my attempts to fix it I just made things worse. This morning I had it to the point that I was convinced I couldn't correct it, and couldn't continue with it. I had to tear the whole thing apart, and just re-roll the yarn to start over again.
I hate when that happens....
You know, pirates robbed people, hijacked their ships, raped and killed. Why is it we want to act like them again?

We've kind of always glamorized criminals that way.
Billy the Kid was a cold hearted killer. Today he would be considered a serial murderer.
We make movies glorifying mob bosses etc.
I get it.
Taking a cultural sensitivity and justice course this term?
