We're so low right now. We were almost there.

Fuck.

Update? How're y'all on moving to a new place close by?

Love you Flag, thanks for checking up on us. Somebody beat us to the place next door. They go fast here. It's drowning into bourgeois. Luckily Kate is a bit of a celebrity around here in Spanish Town. She's done hair all over the world (NY, London, Paris). Seriously PM me if you ever find yourself in BR. She is amazing. I'm nothing without her.

We've got until February and every real estate player around has bumped her up to the top of their waiting list. I'm just along for the ride really. It's tricky timing for us. I'm desperately looking for a new job offshore (which is going well but it's a long process) and she's always worrying about building her clientele. A young man got's nothing in the world these days. It's incredibly stressful.

Kate and I have a unique relationship. Perhaps I'll give the whole story to Hubski soon but suffice to say some would find it taboo. I love her and she loves me. Her heart would break leaving Spanish Town. I am doing everything I can to make her dreams come true.

I really appreciate you for asking. Hubski is an oasis for me. You remind me. I've been beat up. I've been thrown out. But I'm not down.

Hey cool I've been to Spanish Town! I actually drove through BR last weekend. And I'm vain about my hair, it needs to have the right profile. Ah well. It looks fine, flagamuffin, fine!

Ahem. Offshore where?

I'm talking to two companies right now. One tugs fuel up and down the Mississippi. The other goes back and forth between rigs in the Gulf. Both are exciting. This could be the start of a real career.

Ah so literally offshoring. I now recall that you said you were trying to get on a tugboat when I shared that awesome read about the tug family, but I couldn't tell if you were serious or not.

Because in a sense I'm waiting for a call too in that if I was called tomorrow and asked to join a tug crew I probably would without asking any questions.

You and me both! It's great pay. Free room and board for a month with no expenses followed by two weeks off. It's kinda my dream job. I'd love to get paid rolling up and down the Mississippi. I hope it's as romantic as I imagine it to be.
