"Good Add To My First!"***

What is this, you ask? It's Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, VA, to which the Missus decided to take the Llama-ettes on an overnight post-school treat. (The 'rents lived just outside Williamsburg for several years and I never even knew this place existed. Apparently, it's part of a chain.)

The Missus phoned in a while ago to report that the Llama-ettes spent seven and a half solid hours today hurling themselves around on this indoor, airborne aquatic monstrosity. I suggested that their enthusiasm for Colonial Williamsburg which they plan to attend tomorrow, will be somewhat more diminished. Assuming they even make it that far, that is.

Ah, well.

***Go below the fold to see the gratuitous Royal Navy geek joke to which this title relates.

Oh, you're here? Jolly good.

Well, it seems that a retired Admiral in the Royal Navy decided to build a house on the bluff overlooking the entrance to the harbor at Port Mahon on Minorca. There, the Admiral would sit with a large telescope and watch the ships making their way in and out of the harbor. He also had a flagpole, on which he would run up signal flags offering his commentary on the smartness (or lack thereof) of the seamanship of the various ships moving to and fro.

It should be said that the entrance to Port Mahon harbor is a very tricky one to navigate and the old Admiral had a fearsome reputation throughout the Fleet for his withering criticism.

One day, a young Lieutenant was piloting his first ship into Port Mahon and making a sad cock of it. Nervously, he glanced up to the top of the bluff where the Admiral lived. There he suddenly saw run up the Admiral's flagpole the telegraphic signal flags G.O.O.D.

Before the young officer could breathe a sign of relief however, these flags ran down, to be immediately replaced with the signal, "Add to my first - G.O.D."
