Brotherhood Business

Even the hard working, fun loving and somewhat brutal buccaneers of centuries ago had to occasionally stand down to discuss the business of their exploits: what would be the standard booty portion; who would be the Captain, Quartermaster, Boson, and other supervisory positions; what booty portion would they receive; and other questions pertaining to the business at hand - however nefarious that may have been.


Just as then, we have gathered twice in recent weeks to discuss the business of our Table. After the first gathering aboard the good ship ORZA, several of the brothers determined that too much (demon) rum and other spirits had been consumed before the business of the day had been discussed. After sobering, many found themselves unhappy about the decision.

Another meeting was called for May 6th when all the brothers who could, again assembled aboard ORZA. Unlike the first meeting, Brother Limey had returned from his far ranging excursions. His wisdom is revered by the rest of the crew and we welcomed his input to the dilemma at hand. Cruz's gracious Captive, Ann, had again provided a meal fit for hungry marauders! The Captain called everyone's attention to the evils of liquid spirits and implored his crew to subdue their urges until business had been discussed. We talked, we decided and then we drank. It was a good meeting.
