February 5, 2019 – at Sea
The morning started with breakfast and then the gym. Treadmill. Fascinating workout with the ship’s motion.
A bit better with group trivia. Very tough questions. Some of them provoke no response from any of the members of our group. I did know that c was the speed of light in E = mc2 but who would of thought that none of us knew the atomic number of potassium? Each of us has our specialty.

In the song recorded by Bananarama who is waiting? – no idea. I am better at the science questions, Terri fields chemistry. Jerry knows a lot of history, Skip is good at literature.
I decided to try the Dive-In for lunch. Good idea! Nothing beats a hamburger and fries.
When you are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, celebrate Chinese New Year!

We have been listening to the group “Adagio” after dinner. Violin and piano. Very nice sound and great repertoire.…
