The Ship

Before I blog about some of the highlights of our cruise, I wanted to give a bit of an overview of the ship.

We’re back

Vicki and I just got back from our Alaska cruise. I haven’t taken my film in yet (and the damn camera broke half way through), but Vicki took a lot of pictures with our digital camera. I know she’s categorizing them and captioning them and all that useful stuff, but I’ve just thrown the pictures into a Gallery.

Strange

The other day I was trimming my beard, and I noticed this peculiar white discoloration on some of the hairs. I scrubbed and scrubbed, and it wouldn’t come off. Then I noticed that Vicki has the same thing in her hair. I wonder if it’s something coming off the pillows?

Vicki seems to be better at getting rid of it, though. She just mutters something about somebody named “Miss Clariol”, goes into the bathroom for a while, and comes back good as gold.

Decoded, that means that somebody went to the Yahoo directory pages for “Society and Culture/Food and Drink/Countries and Cultures/Hawaiian/Recipes”, then searched for “how make spam”, and ended up at a page of mine that describes how to stop email spam (now extremely out of date). I’m pretty sure that isn’t what they wanted.

I have nothing to add…
