Kelce's reduced production this year isn't because of Taylor or commercials. It's because KC doesn't have a number 1 WR and opposing teams can game plan Travis out. You can see how frustrating that is to him. Other team's have always tried to double team Kelce in the past but could never fully commit to this without risking leaving someone like Tyrek, Hardman, or JuJu open. In the past, it was pick your poison. Not this year. I think the Chiefs will go hard after a star free agent/draft pick WR in the off season. That should bring life back to Kelce. He could have another 2-3 good years in him and my guess is he'd want a shot at another Super Bowl if he could get it. So long as he has Mahomes... Agreed. Way too much talk that never comes true. The curse of social media where anyone can post whatever they want. Happens to Stefon Diggs all the time (this just yesterday). Even mainstream sports media is guilty of click bait reporting these days. Kelce will be done only when he says he's done. Hopefully everything went well with Linda's surgery and she is already on the mend. You guys both deserve to enjoy some extended injury free time!

We started watching All the Light We Cannot See on Netflix. Excellent. We're through the first 2 episodes with only 4 episodes total. From IMDB: The story of Marie-Laure, a blind French teenager, and Werner, a German soldier, whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.

No, no, no. Not duct tape…WD-40. Remember…if it’s supposed to move and it doesn’t, WD-40 is the answer.

It was in one of John’s reviews where they did a TA in an ATS, if I remember correctly. The Genie had the cake made for Laura’s birthday.

I’ve never heard of Mary Frances and had to Google it. We’ve never met, but I’m going to guess this.

That makes a lot of sense for this type of cruise. Since they can't just resupply at the end of the cruise like normal, they've had to plan various resupply ports along the way in advance. If they see something fresh and good at one of the ports, buy it and turn it into a special meal for that evening. That would add some nice variation to the menu.

+5. Have a safe trip home and Merry Christmas!

And??? Come on...you must have access to the good stuff. 😁

I hate rooting for the Cowboys also, but I hate rooting for the Dolphins more. One more loss by the Dolphins and the Bills can still win the division. Ideal scenario...Dolphins lose to the Boys and then beat the Ravens. Ravens also lose to the 49ers and the Steelers (very possible). Chiefs lose one more game somewhere...maybe the Bengals or maybe a division game vs Raiders or at LA. Bills win out and end up with the 1 seed. Maybe not likely, but possible. A Bills fan can dream...right?

I misread this and thought you were asking if Bucky could fix you. 🤣 Didn't make any sense as there is absolutely nothing broken about you.

We've only sailed Serenade once, back in 2018. I don't remember the bar rotating back then either.

Gin and Champagne usually with a sweetener. There's a twist on that recipe that include St. Germaine (elderflower liqueur) that my wife loves. Edit: Forgot the lemon juice.

I'm with your wife, as are almost all of the Bills fans that I watch games with. We hosted a few Bills friends last night since we have the Peacock Network. Lots of moaning and groaning and a few choice words throughout the second half. It's just the scar tissue that forms after a lifetime of losing in bizarre and painful ways. Wide right is still my worst ever sports experience, followed closely by 13 seconds. You know they're bad losses when they have names (looking at you Browns fans...the drive, the fumble).

Thanks for a great review Mark (and Dan). It looks like you, Susan, and Daryl had a good time. I'm guessing that Daryl won't be much help with the laundry although to be fair, he probably didn't add much to the pile of dirty clothes. Enjoy the rest of the year with your family. Merry Christmas!

Bon Voyage Harry!

Does Harmony also offer paninis in Park Cafe? It was also (on other Oasis class ships) one of the few places where you could get a bag of potato chips. Not sure if that's still true.

This is fantastic news! Congratulations!

I can't answer your question about the Solarium Bistro but another place that's not as crazy as the WJ is Park Cafe. That's our standard first day lunch location on any Oasis class ship.

I'm always impressed by the eclectic nature of your Christmas song collection. I tried to create a Spotify playlist using your track listing but Spotify didn't have several of your versions of the songs. I couldn't find some of the artists on Spotify at all. Plus, I'd be missing out on the various "commercials" that you included. Thanks for putting this together and sharing with everyone!

Are they still calling them Maine Lobster on the menu? I thought they had finally said that they're Caribbean Lobster, or something like that.

Looks fantastic. She's going to love it.

Good question. Let me go get the mail... Yup. Still there.

I find it easier to upload all pictures and then manually insert one picture at a time (using insert at lower right of picture), hit the return "key" twice, insert the next picture, 2 more returns, insert picture, etc. This leaves a gap between pics without needing to go back and edit. If you want to put a picture between paragraphs, type the first paragraph, hit return 4 times, then type the second paragraph. This leaves a 3 line blank space between paragraphs. Use your finger to put the cursor in the middle empty line between paragraphs and then press insert next to the picture. The picture will appear between the paragraphs with an empty line above and below. For either of the above techniques, you need to ensure that you are manually inserting all of the pictures that you uploaded. Any that aren't manually inserted will automatically be included at the end of the post with no space between them.

Our neighbors sent us these pictures of our mailbox yesterday. My iPhone says that it's a Red Shouldered Hawk. He looks pretty well fed.
