*Rings the bell*
Your humble scribe tips his hat to a certain Scott, who threw a not-for-nothin’ in his tip jar, just t’other day. Prolly because I’d brought that whole “Rhythms” thing to a successful conclusion, and he was summat pleased by the experience.
By the way, do you know where the inspiration for “rhythms” comes from? It’s one of those words that I cannot just… spell. I have to sound it out each time I write it. I figured that, just maybe, the enforced rigor of writing 50+ blog posts on a single topic would send the lesson home.
Nope. I still sound it out, to this day. But there is as a sort of day in, day out aspect to life at sea that the word captures neatly. Don’t you think?
Anyway, thank you Scott – I have the privilege, sir, of being your most humble, ob’t servant.


I enjoy listening to Russell Smith and “The Amazing Rhythm Aces.” One of their albums is titled, “How the Hell do you Spell Rhythm.” So you’re not alone. I misspell it every time I write it.
