Day Three Aboard the Celebrity Century; Discovery Day
Day three aboard the Celebrity Century was a day of discovery. Did you know that they have shows and entertainment on these cruise ships? Comedians, dancers, game shows…who knew, I certainly did not. However, before we get into the shows, a cool experience for me today, I joined with what seemed like the rest of…

Day Two Part Two Aboard the Celebrity Century
Day two aboard the Celebrity Century is in the books and we are into day three. That means we have eaten first dinner, second supper, late evening snack seen a dance extravaganza and had our first breakfast. Yes, this is tough work but I believe I am rising to the challenge of my work and…

Day Two aboard the Celebrity Century
Day Two aboard the Celebrity Century started for me at 4:16am when the ship gave out a mighty groan and moan while violently listing to the port side and then back to starboard. It settled down basically immediately so I went back to sleep until my internal alarm clock awoke me at 10:30am. I’m not…

Day One Celebrity Century to Alaska
Day One on the Celebrity Century cruise to Alaska, and back. As we boarded the ship a very lovely young lady handed us a glass of Champagne. I now realize this is likely the last free alcoholic drink I will find aboard this ship, although I will not stop searching. Once aboard the ship we…

Pedicure Desperately Needed
Why is it that during the summer months when people (like me) tend to go barefoot or in sandals much of the time do our feet get so nasty and grotty? I have to admit, I like to go barefoot as much and as often as I can. When I go out to walk the…

Why We Have Lost the War on Terrorism
Two things over the last six months or so have demonstrated to me that North America has well and truly lost the “war on terrorism”. First thing, when travelling through airports in the USA I saw far too many 300 pound plus men and women doubled over, red-faced as they struggled to remove their velcro-fastened…

Rules For Dads Raising Daughters
Typically when my Sweetheart sends me web links and advice on how to be a good father (like the book she bought me, Dad’s Book of Answers, written by a woman) I laugh and don’t bother reading much of it. After all, I am usually the source of endless wisdom, why do I need to…
