Yes, that one. I think I would like the green one, although I'd need Lactaid with it.

Some people think that straight Laphroaig tastes medicinal all by itself. I happen to like it and was disappointed when the duty-free shop on a ship where I had OBC to spend didn't stock it. To my mind, the cocktail doesn't contain enough Laphroaig! But the honey and and whiskey would be good for a cough, and the ginger would relieve seasickness. There is an Israeli or Middle Eastern version of huevos rancheros called shakshuka, but I've never seen it made with meat and definitely not with pork. I prefer eggs with the yolks fully cooked, so the version I make is inauthentic. For the band's dinner tonight I'm making a chickpea and tahini casserole. I have to go to the supermarket for most, well, all, of the ingredients, plus vegetables and salad. Our sound tech graduated from Penn State University yesterday so I'll bring wine for a toast. He would probably prefer Scotch, come to think of it. The last time he ran sound for us he it was for a singer with whom he'd been on a retreat where, as far as I can tell, they spent most of the time drinking Famous Grouse. Lisbon is in my plans, for a TATL on the Oosterdam in 2023.

Did you mean a 737? The runway at Dawson City is 5,003 feet long. Most versions of the 747 require at least twice that. Dawson City can accept 737 charters. The runway is short for a 737 and that would lead to a weight limit. The cruise charters are run by Air North, which flies only 737 and ATR-42 aircraft.

I feel for you! Right now I'm having to avoid added sugar and milled flour, although other carbohydrates are OK -- this is for an inflammatory condition -- but I haven't had to eat any set meals where there weren't sufficient choices. In my job I manage events for an organization, some with food. We attempt to meet any dietary need that we know about, and it has only been a problem when people give inaccurate information about their needs or change their requirements on short notice. Tomorrow I'm cooking for a visiting band that has to be fed after the performance, but they were clear about what they wanted. Finally the port of the day is one that I've visited! Most of my pictures aren't on this computer and also aren't very different from those already posted, so I'll add just one.

Do you remember that I officiated at services in the synagogue last Saturday because our rabbi had been exposed to covid? Well, it is nearly impossible not to catch it when your children have it and are too young to be isolated, and he did, so I'm on duty again this weekend. The co-officiant from last week, who stood next to me for two hours, tested positive this week.

Addison and Fergus were born on May 5, and when we lived in Los Angeles they thought it was wonderful that the whole city had a party on their birthday.

That was what I thought -- but it 2019 the Serenade was on Baltic itineraries that included St. Petersburg, from Copenhagen and Stockholm.

There are midwives at both of the hospital groups in my area, and I noticed once that many of them received midwifery training at the Frontier Nursing University in Kentucky. This is noteworthy because it's not in our region or in a major city -- the Frontier Nursing Service was founded to send nurses on horseback, if needed, to remote communities in the mountains of eastern Kentucky.

I've just set up a private tour to Ephesus, from Kusadasi, with Ephesus Shuttle. As the tour is in the future, I can't evaluate it, but the company has been very responsive and easy to work with. I wanted a private tour because (a) I especially wanted to see the Terrace Houses, cliffside homes of late-Roman aristocracy, which no tour offered by the cruise line (not RCI) included; (b) I was willing to skip the House of Mary; and (c) we didn't want to waste any time at a carpet or jewelry shop. At Kusadasi, a private tour may cost more than those offered by the cruise line, but you're in a small group and the tour can be customized for you.
