  1. Thank you Rich, Vanessa, Debbie, Ann and Dixie for the FR&D Not really sure I understand any of today’s days. . Special prayers for Melissa, Bonnie, Terri, Katherine’s friend, Sandi’s brother, Scottie, Chuck, Annie and Tana with Annie and Chuck at the top of the list. I like the Billings quote.. I’ve not been to Amami.. Two very nice days in history., I’ll pass on the meal. .My alternative is Sunset Salad, Orange and Grapefruit Medley and Spaghetti Amatriciana with Grilled Chicken Breast which might have been my choices on MS Prinsendam August 4, 2011 had I not had lunch in the Pinnacle Grill. Getting a bit hotter but a max of 90 without added humidity. Morning mostly at home followed by PT, Fire House, UPS store, and grocery store.. Roy
  2. Today's sunrise(or sunset, I know it was August 14 because of the placement on the roll but no time data) is my earliest ever, taken on my one cruise aboard SS Rotterdam V. It was taken August 14, 1997 as we steamed the inland passage from Seward to Vancouver: This was my first ever cruise on Holland America and my first cruise with CD Rick Spath who later became a great cruise director on Crystal..

Three great days in history, especially the Social Security Act since my 42 years there have financed my life since 1965., I’ll pass on the meal. .My alternative is Classic Caesar Salad, Prime Rib of Beef au jus, and Baked Alaska as might have been served on SS Rotterdam V August 14, 1997 I’ve been out for my walk..

Happy Anniversary @Copper10-8 and Marie. I like the Jung quote.. I’ve been to Seattle many times but only once on a traditional cruise ship, a port of call on Crystal Symphony in 2011.

PT is at 10 and then I will start the shopping I would normally do around 7 so I will not do much once I’m back home.. Roy
  8. @Vict0riann your post brings up a little local pride. Martin planes were built in Middle River, MD on the Northeast side of Baltimore. The train from Baltimore to New York comes within sight of the Martin complex where the plane would have been built. The end of the runway leads to water leading to the Chesapeake Bay. Roy

  25. Today's sunrise is from my 2016 Northwest Passage trip. I could have booked Crystal Serenity in Vancouver August 6 for a 10-day B2B with the NWP but chose instead a 5-day "cruise" on the Alaska ferry Kennicott followed by a 5-day visit to Denali. On August 7 Kennicott was on the Inside Passage bound for Ketchikan. Roy
