Well, you can't always get what you want, as the saying goes. Sadly, someone else will be the Ship's Librarian for SUNY Maritime. I'm disappointed, naturally, but I think that Donna is relieved. It really would have placed a burden on her, so it is probably for the best.

I had planned on starting another blog in which to chronicle the voyage of the good ship Empire State, but I'll have to drop that. What I may do is start a webpage dealing with nautical/naval themes. We'll see how things go and what I actually get around to doing. With my brand new scanner I think I could set up a nice looking page via my AOL account. I'll keep folks posted, if/when I set things up.
