Happy '07

Queenies Daughter: A Slave to Duty
Queenie's Daughter has been on a long hiatus during which time she got a job, moved and got fat. She was unsure if she would return to her virtual domain, but then realized that when one is born into royalty one has a responsibility towards one's subjects.

Sail Mike is the first real interesting blogging topic of the year. Mike is 14 and he just set the record as the youngest person to sail solo across the Atlantic. Queenie's Daughter's dream is to own a sail boat, expatriate and live the life of a modern day adventuress. It is not too late for this to happen but until it does, QD is happy to follow the adventures of others. Well done, Mike!

QD is also very interested in this group called Freegans who seek to get off the crack that is consumerism. Freegans are extremists and QD thinks that perhaps dumpster diving for food takes the whole thing a bit far. Queenie's Daughter had a close friend in high school whose mother humiliated her children by availing herself of the produce in the dumpster behind Magruders grocery. So maybe instead of the dumpster diving for food we can do what Queenie does which is try to buy only those foods produced in say a one hundred mile radius...locally owned and operated....self sustaining communities...yum...yum. This year we will probably talk alot about getting off the money boat and onto a sea of sustainability.

Finally, since we know you are curious about where we have been these long months, we will give you one taste of our past activities. Christmas Night, after the fajitas and Margaritas ... The Irridium jazz club ... We enjoyed an evening with the legendary Les Paul ... if you are ever in NY on a Monday you should go...

SPECIAL NOTE TO JAMIE: We Like Pirates too! Thanks for your email:)
