Just found this and that

I was cruising through my friend Ravishal Bentham's SLPics site and came across this picture that he posted:OMG... lol, I didn't think anyone kept a picture of that. As it happens, I was online when the new Sailors Cove sim first appeared just to the west of Fishers Island. I wasn't able to get there right away because it still belonged to the Linden gods but first thing that morning I went over and caught up with Patrick, Izabella and Ravi. I told them about seeing the island appear during the night and someone made the comment that the mountain should be called Mt. Saint Jo in my honor. As a joke, I threw together a sign and planted it atop the mountain.

Funny thing is, the mountain is still there, and to top it all off, Bent and I are living on it. Our cabin is high above the sim on the north side of the mountain. We have the most wonderful view from our front porch.

I really love this place and it's people.

Joja and Bent Moving!

Bent and I are finally making the plunge and moving to Sailors Cove. Actually it's not that much of a plunge since I cut a deal with the property owner... reduced rent in exchange for my help with the theater.

The Sailors Cove sims are my favorite in SL. I first visited them when there was only one- Fishers Island. I've become good friends with many of the residents and it's the sense of community that has drawn me there.

There are now seven sims with more one the way. A wonderful community and will grow and grow..... what fun watching it take off.

Heath Elvehjem in SL and RL

What can I say, Bent and I are pretty lucky. We've had the extreme pleasure of having Heath Elvehjem (Heath Vercher in RL) visiting with us this week in RL. We even had the opportunity to watch him stream his regular weekly Galveston Island Show right from the salon of our boat.

Rather than repeat everything again, you can read all about it, and see the pictures on our RL Ships Log :)

Friends

I have so many friends, some of them very close. One of my good friends is Diana Allandale, a writer in real life (Diana Hunter).

A few weeks ago I attended a reading at her shop in Nantucket. There I met a gentleman in the publishing business who was looking into SL and what Diana does there. As it turns out, he wrote in his blog about that meeting and quoted me...omg :)
