Our wings are not tired.

At my age, I am still adding to my bucket list more than crossing off, but that's okay.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I saw an article a while ago about how people are running boat tours to empty cruise ships that are anchored offshore. I don't think they went on the ships, just kind of motored around and then back to shore. Years ago, a cruise company would offer three-day "trip to nowhere" cruises out of New York. If I remember correctly, on the SS Maxim Gorky.

I've never been on a cruise myself, but I have a friend who went on several and enjoyed them. The last one I remember, she went with her mother and the cruise included cooking classes with high-level chefs. And they went through the Panama Canal.

We have a number of cruise to nowhere options in S Florida. They are mostly for the gamblers. They go out beyond the legal line then open up the machines and tables. I went on a couple with friends, but since gambling isn't my thing it was kind of ucky.

As many people as possible celebrating Vortex = right

Same!

In fact, going through the Panama Canal is one of them. I will be visiting a friend in Panama next year. Just saying.

Beach trip starts tomorrow. Very happy.

Yes, I'd totally be on board for a barge birthday party with Vortex.

Oh! Panama Canal. I haven't been, but DH was there on business and highly recommends the seafood options. He loved it there.

shared appreciation and amusement derived from bad theater.

Princess Cruises specifically is where musical theatre goes to die. Watching the death spasms brings me joy. It's real entertainment.

In a schadenfreude-y sort of way.

I spotted some news and it seems Royal Caribbean is the one running a nine-month around-the-world cruise.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S is “watching” movies on Netflix, which seems to be as much fast-forwarding as watching. Ah, the ADHD brain…

ltc moves from show to show on her Netflix list, watching the five second previews without picking a show, for what feels like hours until I say "Pick a show or don't get a show."
