Fire 451 – At Sea – [07/06/2015]
The temperature at which book-paper burns… I have read many many unsettling books in my time. Most of the classics are – in their own way – unsettling. Even Peter Pan in its original form is terribly bittersweet and sad; … Continue reading
Slow Coast – Glacier Bay – [07/03/2015]
July? How is it July already? Time flies and all that… It feels like ages since I’ve been back to Alaska, and yet at the same time it feels as though I never left it. The world shifts and changes … Continue reading
Enjoy the Ride – Ketchikan, Alaska – [06/26/2015]
Life should not be a calm and quiet journey from birth to grave. Life should be a rollercoaster that slides into the end – martini in one hand, chocolate in the other screaming “MAN! What a ride!” Sitting in the … Continue reading

On the Cusp – Seward, Alaska – [06/21/2015]

Gold Fever – Quebec, Quebec – [09/19/2014]
We got off the ship late today as I had an abandon ship drill and Amras had a training session for the same new alarm system that I’ve been locked up in training for all week, so by the time … Continue reading
[08/26/2014] – Landings and Take-offs
Those who know me well, know that I am a sucker for a good chance at shock value. It’s one of the many reasons that I don’t talk about my voice to passengers before the chance I get to use … Continue reading
‘Round Table – Charlottetown, PEI – [08/20/2014]
In and about the delightfully semi-organized chaos of backstage during the opening show this week, the following (or at least approximately the following), the party band drummer approached me somewhat awkwardly, that kinda sweet awkward way people have when they’re … Continue reading
