My family has a pirate theme. I marched up the isle of my wedding in a pirate shirt. My groomsmen had pirate shirts. My music was the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean. Each of us has a pirate theme shirt we wear on Saturdays (I have two, one that matches our son’s shirt.) Avast me hearties! It’s deep in the home of pinakidion.
In some ways, it comes from my heritage. Growing up in the land of Blackbeard can do that do you. Supposedly on my mother’s side, we have generations of seafaring pirates. I’ve spun the yarn of how my recent ancestors acquired orange juice (See Nag’s Head intro).
Struck by Semithought! More later…

Hey! International Talk Like A Pirate Day isn’t until next Wednesday. That’s also my 11 year old’s birthday.

The legend of Teach’s Light has been handed down by the people of Stumpy Point village in coastal North Carolina for nearly three centuries. None can say when the mysterious light that hovers above Little Dismal Swamp will next appear, but it is said to guard a store of treasure buried long ago by Edward Teach (c. 1680-1718), better known as the infamous pirate Blackbeard.
