Blue, Red and other Shifting Hues – Hamilton Island, Australia – [11/07/2012]
So at last the dust has settled for another four years and the western world can once again nominally relax. At least after the arguments and the recounts and the endless debates are over that is, because I’m sure there … Continue reading
Oi Vay – At Sea – [11/05/2012]
No matter how hard you try to please everyone, there is always always someone you simply cannot please at all. And there’s always at least one who feels the compulsion to take out that displeasure on almost everyone that they … Continue reading
Ghostly Debates – At Sea – [10/04/2012]
Everyone has the one aspect of their job that they dread doing. For a lot of the librarians in the fleet that’s bridge. Bridge players can be nasty, overly serious and sometimes downright rude. Especially if they think you should … Continue reading
On All Hallows Night – At Sea – [10/31/2012]
I had a passenger today ask me the origins of Halloween. HEE! Ask a pagan the origins of All Hallows….oooh I can give you a really good detailed answer on that one! But I don’t think that’s what she was … Continue reading

At first we were all a bit leery when management announced a crew party the evening after we left Singapore, not to mention the day before a sea day. You see, they do random D&A tests on sea days and … Continue reading
Like A Kid Out Of School – Singapore – [10/27/2012]
There are times when escaping from reality isn’t merely an option, it’s a requirement. Many people have called me a theme park junkie, and in some ways I am. But I never go to a park just because I ‘can’, … Continue reading
Fleeting Hours and Silent Nights – At Sea – [10/27/2012]
Many people will hate me for admitting that I occasionally get bored. I feel guilty admitting it. I mean, I’m a world traveler, I often feel like I shouldn’t be allowed to get bored. But no matter how wonderful and … Continue reading
Tunnel Rats – Phu My, Vietnam – [10/25/2012]
I suppose it’s become clear over the seasons how I feel about calling in Vietnam. I doubt very much it will ever be my favourite place on our itinerary. But I realized this year that I hadn’t really seen any … Continue reading
