The Baron Otto VonLikenpooper changed his look a little. Less mutton chops and more punk rock.

The Baron Otto VonLikenpooper, double pirate of note, expresses his displeasure.

Fair warning, this is probably going to be TLDR.

I am on my third watch through on planes, as one does. A scene in All Apologies hit me harder than usual.
I spent the bulk of my life in uniform, first as a soldier and then as a state trooper. I am blessed in that even as a kid I could defer emotional response from high intensity situations, fight, shoot, and most importantly, communicate. I learned to drive and fell in love with learning leadership. My favorite thing about the show is that it is a master class in applied servant leadership.

Over 23 years I earned my way to deputy chief of the Nevada Highway Patrol. My career ended on a sour note, and it messed me up. I felt wronged and still do. That was nearly nine years ago and I still have not been able to articulate well how I feel about it.
Three days ago I watched Roy Kent say “Roy Kent was the best player on every team he was ever on, since I was a little kid (much dialogue)… I don’t want to be some guy named Roy.” Yeah! Exactly! Aging out sucks and coming to terms with it is difficult.

This show….

Believe tat tax.

He’s new to being a double pirate, but not new to having a nose.

The Baron Otto VonLikenpooper’s stitches are out. As many people said, he’s happy and has back his silly strut with his tail at full staff. Thank you guys for real for your support, this was scary and the little oomph helped.

Otto (the Baron Otto. VonLikenpooper) has been blind for a few years. We got to the point that we couldn’t control the eye pressure with meds anymore, so it was time to relieve him of the pain. He looks like an ancient but deadly blind kung fu master right now. He gets around great without sight already so we are hoping for an easy transition. And pain free!

He’s our sweetest boy and we are going to have several more years of the love. R/PiratePets has been super welcoming too.

Brand new sentence from our vet: “His eyes were so turgid they were hard to get out”

Yikes!

I watched the last episode on the plane, as I am wont to do. I noticed new things on my third time through the series, as we are all wont to do. Two callbacks jumped out. Jamie Tart’s perfect Led Tasso “pass it to me, I want the ball” dance and Ted saying “What, why?” Timed exactly as Rebecca had me crying with laughter.
