AS THEY WARNED JULIUS CAESAR

March 15, 2020

Beware the Ides of March (which in modern English is March 15).  That was the day he was stabbed.

Well, we were not stabbed, but as I texted this morning, our plans certainly have changed.  There was a letter in our mailbox this evening as we came back from the theater, from the Captain, telling us nothing new from this morning.

“It is highly likely that San Francisco will not be available to incoming cruise calls.”

“Our current plan is to dock on Wednesday, March 18, in a port in southern California.”

And we’ll get a refund on our internet package.

Oh, “For the time being, there is nothing for you to do or worry about.”  For the time being.  Does that mean there will come a time when we will need to worry?  I’m making a joke there.  A story with a humorous climax.

American Airlines has waived change fees, so when I know our port of disembarkation, I will book our tickets home – doing my best to avoid Atlanta – and I’ll let you know.

I had two good talks today.  The Ghent Altarpiece, Part 2 and a repeat of the Social Media talk.  Mom and I both agree, the Social Media talk is our least favorite one, but Carnival requires a talk in SM, and I do all I know.  So I do my best to make it interesting, and there you go.

Tomorrow I will do two talks and then I’ll be finished for the cruise.  And since we’ve already set the clocks back (a day late) we can sleep until it really is 6:30 in the morning.

Well, that’s about it.  We are tired, so I am going to send this and let you know as soon as we know what the new plans are.

Thank you for the texts and your prayers.  Keep them coming.
