I need to understand Eurovision

That is really just unacceptable Why not pursue alternate suppliers in Japan even if costs are very high? As we said back in the day, "heads are gonna roll over this"

"Life During Wartime" live performance, never could sit still through it.

For me, it was asparagus. But with counseling, a patient spouse, and enough wine, I worked through it.

This one was a LOL welcome @mauimary

just concluded a Western Med cruise on Silver Dawn and we had a wonderful time! Silversea Air flights on ITA (had to learn to pronounce this as "eeta") were excellent in BizClass, Bernina hotel in Rome was also very good. On board, our butler was a pleasure & kept up with everything we requested, enjoyed all meals we took on board, thought the Motown show was fun. Comments in the various threads here had me nervous. We booked door to door and were so well taken care 0f - there was even a Silversea rep at the Rome airport to direct us to where to start the boarding process when our driver dropped us off. In our case, Silversea was just what we needed for a great 1-week getaway.

Love this picture and TTS' pictures. Can't wait to pick up our pets tomorrow... Just off the Silver Dawn on a 7 day Mediterranean cruise. Loved it. Good food, service and entertainment was really pretty decent. Got a weak spot for Italian red wine, Italian people, and Italian food. Florence, however, seemed overwhelmed with tourists on our excursion there and I've no interest in returning. France more complex, The French did not appreciate my grasp of their language, in spite of years of (required) study, not very Nice after all! Sete was good, enjoyed visiting the vineyards there. ITA is a fine airline; in fact the business class lunch on our return flight was really delicious. Too tired to add a photo but may do so tomorrow.

I had a recurring work assignment in Malaysia for several months each over several years. Learned a lot, and almost got used to the HHH. Of course, starting from Richmond helped with that. My guess is Myster is doing the same thing!

Had to look up cozido stew - it sounds delicious! Wondering if there is a poultry version...

Lois, I almost hesitate to ask, but is Tiki sauvignon blanc available? (you can accurately say you are asking for a friend) And Silversea, if you're listening, I've been reading many complaints lately (Kaisecki a wrecki etc), but this may represent a bridge too far. Please rectify for our beloved Spins. We will be watching this April on Dawn!

Our bit of lemonade without the sugar today, reached a difficult decision regarding our elderly dog Biscuit and had her put down. 15 years since we adopted her at the Richmond shelter. No data as to how old she was then. Blinded by some genetic condition, hobbled by arthritis, and mentally she just wasn't with us as anymore. The vet agreed, my wife agreed, so why do I feel like s**t? Lion King

Hoping for the best for your fellow passenger

dignified and beautiful, thanks for sharing mysty

daggone it Jazz! I also got an email today saying "sorry" but it ain't happening (well, folks in California don't say it like that) but I'm getting zero. Substitutions were proposed so of course I said send them. And add a red or 2 while you're at it. Save 1 of those six Jazz, so we can split it some day

That is kind of funny Lirio! Of course not actually freezing. To invoke a local expression, that's "sweater weather" around here! But my mom would have called it good sleeping weather, as she turned down the thermostat & had a last glass of chardonnay.
