Sunny & Seventy-Five – Half Moon Cay, Bahamas – [04-29-2014]
I’ve always said the same thing about half moon cay: it’s the only port of call that I will instantly make an exception to my “I’m really not a beach baby” state of mind. This port is our own little … Continue reading
Butterfly Kisses – Cape Town, South Africa – [04/01/2014]
I saved a life today. Just a little life. A tiny one. Not even a person, but a life none-the-less. I was getting ready to host one of the sporting events, on the inside pool deck. Only one person showed … Continue reading
The Cup of a Carpenter – At Sea – [03/30/2014]
“I wished only to welcome you to our town and to invite you to worship with us on Sunday.” “Thank you very kindly sir, but actually we don’t attend…though we shall enjoy the singing of the bells…” ~ Chocolat. Like … Continue reading
In Betweens – At Sea – [03/09/2014]
I swear we have more sea days on this cruise than ever before. Over 70 of them! Which is great for the passengers but can get slightly wearing for us…sea day are a heckuva lot more work than ports! Especially … Continue reading

Everybody knows that everybody dies… ~ River Song, Doctor Who No one lives forever. Logically we all know this; though I’ll admit that it’s not something we care to think about very often. Never-the-less death is a part of life … Continue reading
Do You Believe In Magic? – At Sea – [01/26/2014]
It’s funny sometimes, how my two lives – that is to say, personal and professional – which I try to keep very distinct from each other, blend in odd clashing and unexpected ways. Right now, it’s book club. Now, me … Continue reading
Hermitage – Costa Rica – [01/08/2014]
It occurred to me today that I have perhaps fifteen books in my cabin…some half-read and partially abandoned (though never totally), some not even touched, at least two or three that are brand new. Plus my audiobooks…we won’t go into … Continue reading
World at Our Feet – At Sea – [01/02/2014]
If you don’t know you can’t pick yourself up by the scruff of the neck and hold yourself at arm’s length maybe you can – Polgara The Sorceress, David Eddings Sometimes I find it hard to believe that there was … Continue reading
Postcards from the Edge – At Sea – [12/31/2013]
Over the years, New Year’s Eve has been a great many things to me. When I was a child, and actually well into when I was a young adult, New Year’s Eve was a working night. I grew up the … Continue reading
Suspended… – Panama Canal – [12/30/2013]
I never thought I would see the Panama Canal, let alone be sitting at my desk watching it slide past the ship for the 5th, perhaps 6th time – and that’s not me purposely name-dropping, I honestly have lost track. … Continue reading
