Aye Mateys

I am notoriously bad at foreign accents. I often find myself wanting to use an accent when I'm telling a story or joke where the participants are not Americans. Kyla and Dara were on the receiving end of this sad skill set when we visited the UK. The closer to Scotland we got, the more I wanted to pretend being Scottish. The unfortunate byproduct of my lack of skills is that I end up sounding like a demented pirate. (I'm not talking about Johnny Depp, who, if you ever saw the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, is worse at the accent than me.) Thankfully, tomorrow, I will be joined in my efforts by a worldwide collection of people revelling in talking like a pirate. I encourage you all to participate and amaze your friends.
