The Mabus Scarab Blog

It’s fun to tell people how I met my husband because I can honestly say that I married the pirate of my dreams.  When I was young I read a few stories which convinced me that I wanted to marry an adventurous, gallant, “manly” man.  Pirates seemed to fit the bill.  The year I graduated from college I went to a friend’s costume party dressed as a serving wench.  Before I was there five minutes a tall, dark, handsome man dressed in Pirate fancy dress literally picked up me up and carried me away, to his convertible.  I’m not sure any girl could resist that kind of charm, and I had no plans to.  Two years later I married him.
