This week on the ship, we’re kicking it old school.  I suffered greatly on Thursday, putting off actual work, to find pictures of utterly swoon worthy Austen men.  Due to the technical difficulties experienced Friday morning, Santa’s blog had to be posted in all haste which meant many pictures were left out.  I hate to think all my suffering will go for naught.  So I give you our Regency era Most Eligibly Bachelor Pirates.  (I realize they are not technically pirates but I don’t think anyone is going to complain.)

We have Mr. Darcy (in stereo), Mr. Bingley, Mr. Knightly, Captain Wentworth, Colonel Brandon, Mr. Ferrar, and Mr. LaFroy.  I apologize for any drool inducing keyboard issues.

I want to thank Santa O’Byrne for being our special guest on Friday and am proud that we managed to get as many commenters as we did with so many technical issues.  The dang server would have to throw fits on Santa’s big day.

I hope everyone enjoys their Memorial Day, send safe wishes out to everyone facing storms this weekend, and urge all to take a moment and remember those who have given their lives fighting for our country as well as those who continue to do so.
