Sounds like you have been to a couple of SEC games. Around here you would have to add Jim.

A quick note on today's quote. I was informed that Callie is overdue for her annual vet visit. I am the only one who can pick her up long enough to get her in a carrier to get to the office.

I was surprised that it was only 7 pounds. I must have done good!

My dad repaired teletype machines for the Navy. When I was real young I got to go to his shop and learned to repair them. Good memories.

The only ships in the HAL fleet that have a large screen at the pool are the newest three (Pinnacle Class) - Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam, & Rotterdam.

I believe that the number from the aborted 2020 World Cruise was a bit under 500, but close enough. Also, many other passengers were using FCC from other Covid canceled cruises. In addition, the guests from the 2020 had the option of taking the 2024 WC so that one will have quite a few taking advantage. However, most (if not all) of the Covid related FCC expired at the end of 2022 so that should not have too much of an impact going forward.

Just checking to make sure I'm doing everything right before tomorrow morning.

Well, it is Monday morning. I am back at my home/office and took time yesterday to get back up to speed with what is going on. Things are slowly getting back to normal. I am now set up again to post the initial Fleet Report and Daily thread. Like prior to leaving, I expect to have it posted just before 7 am. I really appreciate the efforts of Roy @rafinmd and Sandi @StLouisCruisers in keeping this alive. I hope everyone has a great week, especially those aboard the BHBs.

I am back home safe. The Callie and Leo came to make sure it was me, then we went back to normal, they went back outside to play. At 2:30am Leo decided it was time to go to bed so he jumped up and snuggled. Lots to do today and tomorrow, but work is all caught up. I want to acknowledge and thank @POA1 and his wife for their hospitality Friday night and yesterday morning. It was a wonderful way to end a cruise. Hope everyone has a great day!

I'm watching live from Fort Lauderdale today!

It will be nice to view sail away from a different perspective.

A few days into the World Cruise the new library was filled with books and everyone was invited it. As would be expected, it didn't take long for books to be checked out. All the books were due to be returned yesterday at 5:00pm and it looks like most, if not all, were. In addition, the Boox Exchange are is overflowing, and the titles seem to be recent and well received. Hope everyone enjoys!
