April 14, 2019 – at Sea
Very cool day today. I have put more miles on the treadmill and elliptical than ever before. I’m not sure what it will feel like when I run on solid ground. I ran after lunch today instead of 7 am. What a difference. 2 people in the entire gym. At 7am it is always quite crowded.
The Mediterranean continues to be rough. We are near Greece as my phone showed a welcome to Greece message. No land can be sighted so I am guessing we are more than 15 miles out from shore.
Team trivia: What is a group of leopards called? One who collects teddy bears is called? If you know, we need you here!
We out on deck chairs on the lower promenade but went to the back of the ship. It was sunny and there was no breeze. We had jeans and sweatshirts on as temps were in the 60s. Outside of room it is very windy and too cool.
We have been watching movies in the room and some TV when we have down time. Terri was trying to watch the Masters but ESPN would not co-operate in this area. Football (soccer) is king around here. I have watched more news since we have been on board than I have in the past 20 years combined. I can’t always download the WSJ because of speeds.
Tonight’s entertainment is a comedian that shall remain nameless. I don’t mind criticizing musical acts. Musicians are tough and know when comments are valid. Comedians are different and their appeal is based on their audience. A great comedian can adapt. This one could not and his show was rather weak. There were few laughs but I liked the fact that he didn’t need to be vulgar or political. When I see a comedian look at his watch, I know that he is reaching the limit of his material. I wish him luck.…
