ARE WE THERE YET?

September 19, 2019


Today my talk was in the astronomy category and I talked about celestial navigation with the title “Are We There Yet?” and assisted by Shrek and the Donkey.  Both crowds were good with the Forum Lounge two-thirds full.  Today was also International Talk Like A Pirate Day, and for my opening jokes, I did some of the pirate humor that I have done in the series about pirates and exploreres.  The answer is: R.  The answer is: A Buccaneer.  The answer is: Arurba.  And the questions?

We cut out of supper early tonight, leaving dessert behind, so we could get to the theater and claim our front row balcony seats for tonight’s presentation by the Playlist Productions (i.e. “the kids” – the ship’s singers and dancers) entitled “The Brits.”  Music by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and many more from the British Invasion of the 60s.  This was the second show by the cast, and there is one more coming up dedicated to country music.  We’ve been privileged to see each of them several times, but with different cast members, the shows are always different, and always good.

Tomorrow’s entertainer we’ve also seen.  His name is “Shoener” and is billed as a mentalist.  We’ve figured out his big finish, and Mom doesn’t like him anyway, so we will stand out on deck tomorrow night, look at the stars and eat ice cream cones.

The weather is good, the sea is calm, the food is abundant, and I can’t think of anything else to blog about tonight.  Shame on me.  Oh, I am thinking about borrowing Bonnie’s razor and shaving my knees – maybe for tomorrow’s post Panama Canal excitement.

I am tired and Bonnie is tired, so this one will be brief.  See you tomorrow night with reports of our partial Panama Canal transit.
