White whale, 9 1/2 ” long, marble composite, garage sale, $2. 12″ x 3″ block of wood, painted dark blue, trash pile. Capt. Ahab figure, 3 1/2 ” high, black walnut, carved and painted by me, 1 1/2 hours.
Neat find and neat piece of art you made of it 🙂 I found a “thing” once by the ocean. I think it’s a bird. Wish I could send it to you and see, what you come up with creatively …

Why, Carl! You are a man of many talents. What can’t you do? Sing? Juggle? Dance the merengue? Just curious. 😉

Believe me, singing and dancing are definitely not part of the repertoire.

Everything I eat is accompanied by some sort of pasta. If there is no macaroni in heaven I am not interested in going there.

Very fun, Carl. Me thinks Capt. Ahab looks a bit like Capt. D’Ag…with an eye patch added, of course. Well done, you. So resourceful.

I don’t think they let people who still can’t swim become captains.
