Alaska, Efram, Chinese food, human nature, Kookie and Iguanas
Our first cruise....ever. We are so looking forward to the cruise, um, next spring (a short 7 months away...mental note:must get cruise-wear). So much to do; so little time. Must check out the Seranade of the Seas health record. Got to check into the various side trips available in each port....got to remember to pack some port! So many things to do....got to pack; well we got some new luggage, anyways.
Catherine and I went to see "The Night of the Iguana"...I gave it 5...count 'em, 5 naps! A real bummer. You know, the play is not bad ie. the writing by Tennessee Williams is good but it takes a special talent to bring them to life. Stefanie Zimbalist was the bright spot in the whole darn thing...Efram wasn't bad either (although he played a much more demanding role in "77 Sunset Strip"...next to Kookie, he was my favourite!). But the rest of the acting was mediocre at best. 5 naps! Al would be proud! The iguana was good...very convincing.
After the play we got Chinese and came back to our place. In the spirit of Hyacinthe Bouquet I placed the Royal Carribean Alaska Cruise brochure in a conspicuous place (right in front of their noses really) and waited for the gasps of "ooooo aaaaahhhh are you going on a trip, a cruise?" "Nice, I'll bet that you will have fun, it will be great!"....but no, it was a very non-plussed reaction all round and things like "My Mother, uncle Aunt, sister, a friend of a friend's cousin went on many cruises...many". You know people just don't get it; they can't just be happy for you and leave it at that! why is that? I'll never understand human nature....me and Kookie.
Well, better go. I have to drive Catherine to a baby shower...Doug and Daina's daughter Christine had a baby. This is the girl who took ferility drugs and gave premature birth to quintuplets and they all died within days of each other. We are glad this new baby is healthy.
Keep on blogging....nice pic of Jack boys on his site!
