How she'll greet me when she meets me when my ship gets in to port

[sovay]

It has not been a good week for sleep in the sense that I have managed about three to four hours out of every twenty-four and generally not when it's night out, but it has been an excellent week for ocean. After contemplating the question and decisively answering that she would rather be a dragon than a cat, my niece who was part of this afternoon's excursion with out-of-town family to Castle Island showed her fire by the sea.

Cranes as in sandhill, or cranes as in lift the physical above the horizon and hold for a while? *curious*

rather be a dragon than a cat

My brain immediately read this to the tune of El Condor Pasa, replacing the Simon & Garfunkel version's lyrics (I'd rather be a dragon than a cat, yes I would, if I could, I surely would...) so I feel you about the lack of sleep! May it improve! And I'm glad you got to see some excellent sea! <3

I’m so glad you got to share the sea with one another.

Aw, what a great photo! A dragon indeed. :-)

Sorry about the whole lack of sleep thing, though. *hugs*

my niece … showed her fire
—yes, I was seeing the photo as I was reading, and I was thinking, wait: that’s not a Sovay profile…but then I got to the explanation ;-)
The sun in her hair makes most excellent fire!

Hope your niece never gets tired of people complimenting her copper red hair!

I agree re dragons broadly, though think the question really needs to be refined down to individuals due to the diversity in both species. Thus, is it better to be Smaug or Behemoth? Temeraire or Fankle the Cat? Eustace Scrubb or Greebo?

I hope you get better sleep, but I'm glad you got to spend time with your niece at the sea.

HOW DID SHE GET TO BE A TWEEN

Anyway, as usual I am sorry to hear about the sleep, and glad about the sea.
