Before we go any farther (or is it further) let us pause to wish Carey Sisler a Happy Birthday as she celebrates another anniversary of her 29th birthday.

At 0900 this morning we went into The Attic for “Alexander Selkirk: The Real Robinson Crusoe” and lo and behold all of the alleged art work was out and all of the seats were back.  When Bonnie and I got there, people were waiting in line outside to get seats – after yesterday’s fiasco.  Someone is going to ask if my arm is sore from patting myself on the back, but it was very gratifying that by the time I started the talk, there was not an empty seat, and people were standing as well as sitting on the floor in places where they could see the screens.  Mom says there were 250 people in there, and still some left because there was no room for them in the inn.  When I told them that tomorrow we would be back in the Royal Theater, there was universal applause.

Today has been a slow day.  We played cards twice.  On this trip we are playing Casino with a running score.  The winner will be announced as we leave Nassau.  Right now it’s 97 to 90 in favor of me.  Yesterday was tied at 55.  The day before mom was ahead 35-31.  And so it goes.

The only other thing we did was nap and eat.  Breakfast was room service – muffins, yogurt and such.  For lunch we both had cheese burgers.  Mine was accompanied by macaroni and cheese.  Bonnie’s with French fries.  And soft serve ice cream for dessert.  Supper was roasted tomato soup, tempura vegetables, with steak Diane as the main course.  I had strawberry ice cream for dessert and she had a caramel flan.

We stopped at Sorrento’s (the pizza place) to play cards, and all was well until a band and singers started doing 60s music.  Nothing wrong with 60s music.  It’s our music.  But the VOLUME!!  I’m surprised you didn’t hear it.  After a few hands we gave up and came back to 10502 where we are getting ready now for bed.

We do not fall back tonight, so tomorrow we will remain 3 hours ahead.  See you then.

Oh, there are a couple of pictures to share.

The white dot is the moon, and the pink is sunrise. Both together. Neat.

And a towel mouse wearing my sunglasses.
