Arrrrr! Pirates Ye Be And This Be Your Day!

Talk Like A Pirate Day is today -- and every Sept. 19. One important lesson is that anyone with imagination can start a new holiday and watch it spread around the globe. The other lesson is that this is the place to click for your online pirate resources.

In Rochester? Head for the Strong Museum for Talk Like A Pirate Weekend, with story telling, crafts and a promise of high adventure.

In Monterey, California? The MY Museum has more, including a pirate treasure hunt.

In Jacksonville, Florida? Head over to Fernandina Beach for a Pirate School for children.

In Baltimore, the fun continues on Oct. 1 with the opening of the museum exhibit Shipwreck!

And if you are staying home, here's a link to some of our favorite pirate reading.
