What have I done? Yesterday, after a fine lobster dinner with the entire Asylum Family, I booked an inside cabin on a cruise ship heading up the coast to St John, New Brunswick. Leaves a week from today. From Baltimore. A member of the Asylum Family is going. So, I can get a ride to where the boat leaves from. (Baltimore). It’s cheap. But, there is no window. Not even a porthole. It will be like living in a coffee can for 9 days. I hope the ship TV broadcasts a picture from the bridge 24/7.
Normally I wouldn’t consider paying an additional $200 for wifi. But, I am going to treat myself to wifi. That’s what the ship does. It gets you to spend money. But, I think wifi might help preserve my sanity.
It should be interesting. And hopefully “fun”. “Fun” is increasingly harder to come by as I get older. I am willing to settle for pleasant. Or mildly interesting these days.
Haven’t a clue why this orchid is blooming. Is it an omen? Is it dying? Am I dying? Well, of course, both of us are dying. Nobody is promised tomorrow.
