456 – 50 days till I’m Cruising….!

Yep, my wife and I booked a cruise in May, on the largest cruise ship on Earth, the Allure of the Seas!

It’s 16 stories high (with only a 30 foot draft.. how do they do that?), with 26 restaurants, 7 neighborhoods, 4 pools, 10 whirlpools, a zip line, 2 flow riders (man-made surfing),  a comedy club, and so much more! Even a Broadway show! (Chicago)

We have a nice balcony cabin on deck 8, and I foresee a great time ahead.

Other than that, Friday I take a half day off to go with some friends to a pub for some “Wings, Beers and Basketball”. I’ve been doing this for about 8 years now, and it’s always a great time.

Mom’s doing ok, hasn’t fallen in a while. She’s her ole cantankerous self again *chuckle*.
