365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Alternate Persona
Day 33: Meet yet another of the chronicler's alternate personas, Masaka. I won't attempt to delude you. I don't do this well, although I do it fairly often as a way to stay in shape over the winter when other forms of exercise are denied me by weather, and I can already hear you thinking, "So why do you need a costume?" The answer to that is that sometimes someone can talk me into performing if and only if they bribe me with good food, nice company and a promise not to laugh. Plus, I like costumes as most of you already know well, and a belly-dance outfit gives me a chance to show off those wonderful silver treasures I've gleaned as a pirate. Who knows? It might even provide an opportunity to gather a few more spoils. I mean, think about it. What better way to weasel your way into the privacy of a captain's cabin than by offering entertainment no man long at sea could resist? Who would ever suspect a delicate and feminine dancer of being the infamous Black Blade?
