Sail Away

aboard the MS Ryndam en route to College Fjiord, Alaska

I heard from someone who loved The Shadow Warriors

I saw Jean-Claude Corbier, a character in Festival Madness on the cruise. Way Cool. He was wearing JC's hiking boots. Had JC's legs. It is always weird to see one of your character's strolling about. Once I saw Petra in Roche Bros. in Wellesley.

Some faces just demand that one make up stories about them.

Fish, Seals, Mountain Goat, Whale and Bear all spotted. Glaciers, Mountains, Scenery to die for.

Off to Fairbanks tomorrow and to Denali the day after.

Home on the 5th via the red eye out of SFO.

Will have lots to report, but not much sucking it up. That will come when I climb onto the scale, an act much in common with a sea lion heaving himself onto a rock and gasp, shudder and wail at the reading. It hasn'tbeen a week of deprivation, shall we say.

In the meantime, 'that she blows, there's gold in them thar hills and North to Alaska.

Court trial ended. Defendants found guilty. How could lightning strike 4 times in the same place? Dunno.
