A SLOW DAY FOR THE BLOG

March 10, 2020

On board it is called, “A Fun Day at Sea,” and your favorite cruisers really enjoy them.  They were our favorite days of the cruise before I started doing the talks.  And speaking of talks, I did two today: “Social Media – Communicating with a Blog,” and “The Ghent Altarpiece: The Most Stolen Artwork in History.”  For the Ghent Altarpiece, it was the first time I did the talk for a cruise audience.

Interestingly, the tech had trouble getting the projector to come on for the afternoon talk, and we were 15 minutes late getting started.  No one seemed to mind the delay, and it was fun, and a little scarey doing a brand new talk.  In five days I will do Part 2 of the Ghent Altarpiece, having the Nazis steal it and the Monuments Men recover it.  I actually have 5 more talks for this cruise, and strangely no talk on the last sea day, so Mom won’t have to worry so much about us getting packed and our suitcases out in the hall.

In between the second talk and supper I worked on the next talk on the schedule, “Potatoes: Famine, French Fries, and the Final Frontier.”  After supper (our second formal night) we went to our first comedy session of the cruise.  We only go to PG shows.  For some reason, I just don’t think being cussed at is funny.  And sadly, I didn’t think this PG comedian wasn’t very funny even with clean talk.  Mom laughed a lot, so that made it a good show.

And my cruise buddy said I just told you everything we did today, so this one is short.  Hopefully sweet.
