Roy,

 

so glad you’re feeling better and back to posting daily.

 

Keith,

 

how lovely you’ll be seeing your family for Thanksgiving as it’s been so long since you’ve all been together.

 

happy thanksgiving to all who celebrate.

Today's sunrise is from my 2019 Crystal Serenity Transatlantic.  November 23 was the final sea day before arrival at Fort Lauderdale.

Today's sunrise is from an interlude between 2011 cruises on Crystal Symphony and MS Prinsendam.  On November 24 I went up to the 17th street bridge to watch the ships come into Port Everglades and also caught the sunrise.

This is a cute video I saw yesterday.

 

With today being Thanksgiving in the USA I thought I would post it and Chanukah follows shortly.

 

Happy Thanksgiving.  On a related note both our families arrived to the house we rented yesterday.  It's been over 22 months since we have them all together and one of the grandchildren was not born at the time.  I know Anne Marie are I have a lot to be grateful for and this is one of them.

 

Please enjoy the video.

And before I forget.  

 

Tonight is the start of the three night series Get Back with never before footage of the Beatles being filmed over three weeks as they wrote and performed the songs for the Let It Be Album.  It's being shown on Disney+.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it.  Today's sunrise is from a largely forgettable 2007 cruise on the Silver Whisper from Athens to Dubai.  November 25 was a sea day from Safaga to Muscat:

Keith, thanks for the video!  It was cute, and actually inspired me to find out more about the Chanukah story!

Today's sunrise is from my 2019 combination starting with QM2, and continuing to Crystal Bach, Crystal Serenity, and finally Crystal Symphony.  On November 26 the Crystal Symphony visited Grand Turk.

Well, here in the US it's the day after Thanksgiving.

 

You know what that means.

 

That's right: it's open season on humming Christmas carols.

 

Step aside as I have halls to deck, stockings to hang, etc.  Now, how do I get that Partridge into that pear tree?  And should it be Keith, Laurie or Danny?

 

Also, Die Hard is most definitely a Christmas movie.

 

Ho-Ho-Ho!

If you're a fan of American musical theater, we've lost a giant.  Stephen Sondheim has left the stage.

 

This is definitely off-topic.  Apologies for not being fun.

No apologies needed.

 

He lived a long and productive life. We have been enriched by his works.

Thank you Keith for mentioning this show. I watched all 3 episodes. It was fascinating to see the lads 'in real life'. 

 

You will especially enjoy episode 3!

Today's sunrise is from my 2016 combination of transatlantics, Eastbound on QM2 and Westbound on Seabourn Odyssey.  There was a large gap between the transatlantics which I filled in with a med cruise on Queen Elizabeth.  December 2 was one of the final sea days between Lisbon and return to Southampton.
