Well, the Somali pirates are gone. I woke up this morning and went downstairs to make them their 40 bagels and they were nowhere to be found. All that was left was a note saying something to the effect that they were too bummed out by Marilyn Chambers' death to focus on pirating. It make sense. If you aren't going to go full out with your pirating then why bother. Along with their Boggle tips, that's the thing I've learned from the Somali pirates that I will keep with me for the rest of my life. If you can't put your heart into something then it's probably not worth doing. If only I had known this before I began training seals. Imagine how many lives of seals would have been spared? Oh well. What's done is done. No use crying over spilled milk. Or dead seals. It's time to move on. I'm no longer a hostage. Nobody even inquired about paying the ransom for me, but whatever - I'm free! Time to grab life by the reins and make the most of it! Here I come world!

Right after I watch the Today Show and eat these bagels.
