A t-shirt featuring the doubloon from Moby-Dick (three mountains and the sun, with the words "Republica Del Ecuador - Quito" around the edge), along with four books: - "Melvill" by Rodrigo Fresán - "Mariners, Renegads & Castaways" by C.L.R. James, with a foreward by @chanda.blacksky.app - "A Whaler's Dictionary" by Dan Beachy-Quick - "Hell's Heart" by @quicunquevult.bsky.social

Come see these women play in the BC Premier League starting April 2.

Dave Foley is in there, and whenever I think of Dave Foley, my mind always goes to how he was married to Tabatha Southey (yes, that Tabatha Southey) and that he definitely lived a life that only Dave Foley could have lived.
