At this point, he is to offer a sacrifice to Poseidon, and then at last his journeys would be over.
Tonight, at a Chamber of Commerce function, I was talking with some colleagues and mentioned how I've started learning to play a 12 string guitar. The two guys next to me gave me blank looks, then one of them asked, in all seriousness: "Twelve strings? How do you play something like that? How wide does the neck have to be? Is it a double necked guitar or something?"
I guess my journey is over. :silly:

Ah Mark,
You are just hangin’ Out with the wrong people. You need to get yourself some guitar buddies.
I once told a colleague I fingerpicked the guitar, he thought this was weird, then he told me he was a champion rower, top ten in the world. I asked him what rivers, canals he rowed in. Turns out he did it in a gym
Now that is weird! :laugh:
Each to their own as they say.
