Even before I called myself

a Parrot Head I was a Parrot

Head Even before I knew

what a Parrot Head was I was

a Parrot Head And even be-

fore the term was coined I

was one Youll understand

better in a moment after read-

ing what I have to share But I

still always enjoy hearing peo-

ples personal stories of how

they became Parrot Heads

As for myself I prefer to think

of it as how I realized I was a

Parrot head

As far back as I can possi-

bly remember Ive had an

affinity towards the sea Plus

Ive always been a restless

soul Im also among other

qualities in line with the Mar-

garitaville state of mind a bit

of a non-conformist Eventu-

ally my (then still young) no-

mad feet and free-spirit atti-

tude got the better of me and

I joined the Navy leaving Bur-

lington to be with my first love

Mother Ocean All of that plus

an inevitable love for Jimmy

Buffetts music finally rose up

as one smacked me in the

head and said Hey Youre a

Parrot Head

Thats the short version

and if I ever get around to

writing the big book you can

read the full story But for now

Id like to share something that

perhaps some of you have

read before Surely some have

not (Yeah I knowdont call

you Shirley) I dont know who

the author is so I cant credit

them by name but to the best

of my knowledge it was writ-

ten by someone from a south-

ern California PHC Enjoy and

fins up

We are not Parrot Heads be-

cause we are Jimmy Buffett

fans We are Parrot Heads

because We love the ocean

We love our planet We love to

have fun

We are Parrot Heads because

We are not afraid to be silly

We are not afraid to act fool-

ish We are not afraid of love

We are Parrot Heads because We

like scantily clad members of our

favorite sex We like playing in the

sun with those same members

We like singing songs that say all

of these things

We are Parrot Heads because We

believe the best things in life can-

not be bought We believe sharing

the best things make them better

We believe in the innate goodness

in all of us

We are Parrot Heads because We

know shared joy is increased We

know shared pain is lessened We

know a good friend has value be-

yond measure

It just so happens that Jimmy Buf-

fett sings about all these things

So we are not Parrot Heads be-

cause we are Jimmy Buffett fans

we are Jimmy Buffett fans be-

cause we are Parrot Heads

At our last Phlocking we decided to

have a raffle for the Juvenile Diabe-

tes Research Foundation and we

raised $ 108 which we will donate

to that worthy cause

Yesndash we have started to make a

difference

Juvenile Diabetes Re-

search Foundation

The Juvenile Diabetes Research

Foundation International (JDRF) is

the leading charitable funder and

advocate of type 1 (juvenile) diabe-

tes research worldwide The mis-

sion of JDRF is to find a cure for

diabetes and its complications

through the support of research

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune

disease that strikes children and

adults suddenly and can be fatal

Until a cure is found people with

type 1 diabetes have to test their

blood sugar and give themselves

multiple insulin injections or use a

pump mdash every day of their lives

And even with that intensive care

insulin is not a cure for diabetes

nor does it prevent its eventual and

devastating complications which

may include kidney failure blind-

ness heart disease stroke and

amputation

Since its founding in 1970 by

parents of children with type 1

diabetes JDRF has awarded more

than $15 billion to diabetes re-

search including more than $107

million in FY2010
