About Pilgrims




A pilgrim is a traveler. S/he may not necessarily move physically from place to place to be a pilgrim but might travel in the world of ideas. I think our perception of pilgrims has a lot to do with turkey and cranberry sauce but the ones in Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colony were actually religious refugees. If you've ever been to Boston it would be very hard to imagine that asphalt and concrete as a theocracy in the wilderness of 1620. Actually, all of New England is so populated.


Back to the point---I hope the discussions and postings on this blog encourage some readers to make a mental pilgrimage--take a vacation to somewhere different---explore a new idea---think about something from a different than usual perspective--lose a prejudice--conquer a fear.

Introduction

Just by way of introduction, this blog is for ideas and inputs. Hopefully it sparks some discussion and controversy whether about pirates, dogs, pilgrims, politics, or whatever.

Pirate Dog Song Help





There are 3 pirate dogs. I'd like your help with their theme song. Done to the tune of Bob Marley's Redemption Song I came up with the first 2 lines:
"Three Pirate Dogs they rob I
Take the food and all the chips"
