day 52 – at sea

balmy and breezy day today, in the 80’s, but in the breeze it feels good… went up to the top of the ship, and there is barely anyone out there… took a few pics of the changing sky…



hmmm... what else did i do today?  blogged, lunched, negotiated a few in port manning trades with my pals to ensure that bob and i will have our ipm days together (which turns it into ips: in port snuggling – much more fun…).  i got asked today do the good morning show on board tomorrow, it’s like a coffee talk time with the cruise director and hostess, and they will interview me in one of the roomier lounges with a piano instead of their usual taping spot… it then goes on the in-house channel… so i wrote a little tune for that… i went to the writing group and got some tips on writing articles and how to submit them… i used to write for an entertainment paper in ak, interviews, concert reviews but haven’t submitted anything anywhere for awhile, so i may do some of that as a precursor to attempting to get something larger published…

slept through dinner (will get soup after the gig) and got a nice shower.  great classical pianist as guest artist tonight, didn’t catch whole show, but she will do another show this week… tonight’s cocktail hour was well attended.  it was formal night tonight, and my theme was ‘great american songbook’ (george gershwin, irving berlin, cole porter…)… some good stuff!

got a note under my door that i have been selected to do a crew escort gig in new guinea tomorrow… watch out for cannibals!  no steak diane!  no fast food!  hee hee… more later…  xo, di
