strange boat...strange shore...what?

Interesting to note & very shocking: Nate named our blog. I know, you would never guess it, but alas, c'est vrai. He really likes a band called the Waterboys, they're Irish, and Strange Boat is one of their songs. And really, "We're sailing in a strange boat, heading for a strange shore," really sums up our life. Enjoy the full lyrics.

STRANGE BOAT
We're sailing in a strange boat, heading for a strange shore
We're sailing in a strange boat, heading for a strange shore
We're carrying the strangest cargo
that was ever hauled aboard

We're sailing on a strange sea, blown by a strange wind
We're sailing on a strange sea, blown by a strange wind
We're carrying the strangest crew
that ever sinned

We're riding in a strange car
We're following a strange star
We're climbing on the strangest ladder
that was ever there to climb

We're living in a strange time, working for a strange goal
We're living in a strange time, working for a strange goal
We're turning flesh and body
into Soul
