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then searched for “how make spam”, and ended up at a page of mine that describes how to stop email spam (now extremely out of date).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…
How the hell did that happen?
I needed some good clothes because I’m going on a cruise next week. The cruise has two “formal nights”, and Vicki was trying to convince me to rent a tux for the cruise, but I figured I could use my existing suit, because it’s only about 8 years old and only been worn about 5 times. But I really needed a couple of good shirts to wear with it – the shirt I normally wear when I need to wear a tie looks bad – sort of iron scorched or something. My only other shirt with a big enough neck and long enough sleeves for wearing a tie is missing a button, so it’s been out of circulation for a while. I also need a couple of pairs of Dockers or similar casual pants.
