Sun Warmed Pages – Lahaina, Hawaii – [03/31/2017]
I am starting to read again. I haven’t been you see; I have dozens of books in my cabin but I haven’t actually finished one this contract. That’s not like me, and I’m not really pleased about it. I fear … Continue reading
Age of the Geek – San Diego – [03/24/2017]
Let’s see, the downside of today? I spent most of it in a dentist’s chair, which is far from my favourite place to be. But alas, when one has a chipped filling, one really doesn’t have any choice but to … Continue reading

Colour Bomb – Manzanillo, Mexico – [03/21/2017]
Mexico and I have an interesting relationship; even after a few years of coming here, I still don’t necessarily feel comfortable, here. Perhaps it’s something as simple as the fact that I don’t speak the language (which is totally my … Continue reading

Kiss the Fish – At Sea – [03/14/2017]

Viva Mexico – Huatulco, Mexico – [02/26/2017]
I am forever a creature of habit. Whenever I come to Huatulco, I come to the same place; I sit at the same table, in the same pink chair. I don’t think it’s necessarily on purpose; my feet just take … Continue reading
Adjustment Periods – At Sea – [02/20/2017]
Joining a new ship is always slightly exhausting. Joining a ship part way through a very long cruise (in this case, 45 days or so) is a whole different other kind of challenge. My lovely day in Honolulu prepared me … Continue reading

“Be Home In Time For Supper” – St. Lucia, Castries – [02/26/2016]
This is the future! You can either fight it, or you can rock out to it! ~ Hairspray Sometimes, you simply need to get away, away from the drama and the drills (this morning’s ran nearly a full hour and … Continue reading
Backstage Jitters – Recife, Brazil – [01/29/2016]
Since I was just only “yay-high to a ballet barre” I’ve gotten stage fright. Horrific, crippling stage fright. I know I’m talented, though it took me a long time to realize that I do know it. But…getting up there? Getting … Continue reading
Still Pulling Teeth – Devil’s Island – [01/24/2016]
There are times when running the “Sing with the Band” night is an exceptionally smooth ride; after all Amras and I have this event down to a routine, we know how to run it and we know – usually – … Continue reading
