Oregon requires all boat operators to complete a Boater's Safety Course before they can legally skipper a boat. It's a good program, I think.
So, last evening, my niece from the Central Oregon Valley announced that she had passed the course. My first thoughts were: Boats were meant to be operated by real men, and she doesn't even have a boat to pilot. But then, I guess in case of an emergency on the water, or an overdose of wine, she could skipper her father's boat, or maybe even mine for that matter.
Although it would be unlikely that she'll ever be needed to operate a boat, the fact that she is certified, could be a valuable credential to add to her portfolio in her quest to attract a husband. It's a beginning I know, but hopefully she could learn to cook, clean, pull a cork from the wine bottle, and add those skills to her basket as well.
And, maybe then she'll find that husband.

ReplyDeleteoh amen amen. Are you nutz? "Find" a husband? What on earth makes you think she is even looking? And why oh why would you think she would have to know more than piloting a boat???? at least that way she could leave him on the shore and go have a good time. and if she is real smart ~ she'd leave him home to do the cooking and cleaning! ha ha
