Ocean Boy

As much as I enjoy football I view it more as a vehicle for helping young boys make the transition to young men. If you think about it, the lessons you are taught to be successful playing a sport are the same ones it takes to be successful at life.... Set a goal, study your opponent, make a game plan and practice it, and then execute it. Enjoy the victories and learn when you come up short. And above all respect your opponent and win with grace because in order for you to win someone had to loose.

Great pictures. I'm happy that you have as good feelings toward Adventure as I do.

So as the school district physician part of my responsibilities is providing medical coverage at home football games. What I actually do is cover home games, climb on school busses and travel with them to away games because I don't trust anyone else to help them if they get hurt and I don't want them to have to deal with a stranger, go to practices, tape them up prior to games, help them recover from their injuries, watch game films with them, go to lifting workouts, and be their ear for them when they they feel like bi!ching about a coach and sometimes they just want to chat about personal issues that have nothing to do with football.

I'm taking a bike ride. It is another beautiful New England day and I have stopped at my place of peace.

The football....

I've actually taken care of some of them from the day they were born. My office is full of football things and pictures. The centerpiece is the game ball the team once presented me with.

When is the last time your feet touched land?😇

It has been a very emotional couple of days. First our football team won our Thanksgiving day rivalry 55 to zero. Then I had to say goodbye to our seniors whom I have so much admiration and love for and whom I could write about for hours if I wasn't so tired of crying. So for now I will just leave you with tonight's sunset....

Feel like switching your January Harmony to Jan 28 Odyssey? The timing and pricing worked out better for me. I get a block on this cruise. I would have preferred an Allure block but that isn't happening.

Or they have a drink package.

I'm pretty sure the pier opened sometime in 2009.

And to you also.

I went for a bike ride this afternoon. It is a beautiful New England autumn day. And this is what our off season beaches look like when the tourists are elsewhere...

Have a great cruise! I've had some awesome cruises on Adventure out of San Juan and Ft. Lauderdale.

I'm with you. I prefer itineraries that include neither one.

Reminds me a bit of the movie Christmas Vacation.😊

This is an interesting crew. I think this will be a good season. And I agree, Lee isn't looking well.

Oh man, it has been a long Monday. Sorry.🫣

St. Lucia is beautiful. The show started with a nice view on the Pitons. It has been a lot of years since I've been there.

Time for the new season of Survivor. Anyone watching?

I have decided that Yellowstone will be a no go. I was watching last night right up until some A$$ was about to shoot a horse that had broken its leg. Nope, don't need that after a long day at work.

How many days out do you think entertainment will open up for booking? There is a note in the planner of which ships now have booking prior to the cruise and Odyssey is on the list.

Right. I already ordered surf and stream.
