Just in case you were confused...

I get some strange responses when I give out the blog's URL. I hear people *gulp* uncomfortably at the word "Sextant". My friend's firewall at work won't let him access the 'blog, probably because it has the word "S-E-X" in it.

A sextant is a nautical navigational device! Gee, don't you feel silly now?!? There is an old post from August 2005 titled "The Name of Our Blog" which has the poem John wrote for me several years ago. Sweetness! (I tried to link it but my html is rusty)

Here is a photo of a sextant. I hope you already know what a spyglass is...
