Again with the late post.  Sorry about that.  What with the sunny weather, gardening to do, trees to chop etc. I have been busy.  Oh, and the Euro 2012.  Um, go Germany.  I’m only like 12.5% German but Ireland and England will disappoint me as always se best to go with a team I have a modicum of connection to and no absolute hatred of.

I am going on a cruise.  With my whole family. I had vowed to never ever go on a cruise but what the hell, it looks like fun.  It’s not the Weezer Cruise I wanted to go on, but it is a decent enough one with all the bits and pieces people usually brag about.  We will have my oldest and my daughter in law and my mother with us so we wont have to be towing around the little ones all the time so it wont be all chasey chasey yell yell grumble drink yell.

I have always had a connection to ships…

I lived two blocks from a harbour as a child and spend many a day, year round either fishing, sailing with others, boating, skating when the ice came in, watching people net smelts in the spring.  All good.  All my best times as a child were near water and all the best places I lived were as well.  I plan on some deep sea fishing, visiting movie sites from old James Bond flicks, snorkeling/free diving around some shallow water wrecks and possibly wrestling that old nurse shark that lives under the dock that gave me the eye 30 years ago… yaar.

All in all, I am mentally sidetracked so I promise to post a proper post tonight.  Please excuse me while I ponder the ocean.

p.s. As an ironic aside, I do not like being IN deep water.  Just on it.  I don’t mind being IN water, just not floating with my head sticking out of it.. is that a form of agorophobia? hrmm..

be nice to each other
