I just wanted to mark this special occasion in history. I watched the swearing in of Barack Hussein Obama this morning at the North Park Theater with people who I didn’t know, who embraced me as family when they saw I was there by myself.

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

I’ve been nasty sick the past two weeks (a little bit better now) – since the cruise has been over. I was telling Tina my reasoning:

Note: I wrote these blogs while on the ship, and I’m publishing them post-vacation.
December 29th:First of all, sleep on this ship is amazing. We left the balcony door open and fell asleep to the sounds of waves crashing. It’s kind of amazing. Not to mention the rocking. I felt like a baby being rocked to [...]

Cruise Day 1: At Sea

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Note: I wrote these blogs while on the ship, and I’m publishing them post-vacation.
December 28: It was a long day today. Delayed flights and no sleep leads to Cranky McCranksters, but alas we made it to the ship.

We did the mustard muster drill,had some cocktails, a nice dinner (think Mimi’s Cafe with Indian (note: [...]
