Yes, it's true. I moved my blog to boatdrinks.vox.com yesterday. We'll chalk it up to one of the 318 self-reflection changes my life will probably undertake over the years, directly or indirectly from last month's events.
For those of you who knew me in college, you know that I signed off every email I sent from ~1996-2001 with the phrase "Boat Drinks." It was such a significant thing for me to say to others that a friend of mine even had it engraved on the back of a watch that she gave me for being an usher in her wedding in 2000.
In the last couple of weeks, I have been using it again to sign off on emails here and there. Going forward, I will likely fully incorporate it back into my emails again.
The phrase comes from a Jimmy Buffett song (with the same title) and is used in the movie Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead. If you haven't seen the movie, throw it in your Netflix queue. It's one of my favorites of all-time even though it never got great reviews.
Instead of explaining the significance and use of the phrase in the movie (in case you decide to watch it), I'll just briefly explain what the term boat drinks means to me.
Saying boat drinks is basically an abbreviated way of saying "I hope your life (is / is moving towards / turns out to be) everything you hoped it would be." When it's all said and done, I wish for you a life that you enjoyed to the fullest because you made the most of your time here.
I am continuously striving for boat drinks.
