Thought you'd like to read this short blog I did for my corporate travel agency. Effie and I did this cruise way back in 2009.

I’ll remember .pdf for next time.

Gmail doesn't like real Word docs as well as I thought. It opened for me as 67 pages, mostly blank, and about half of the photos were rotated. But... I did get to enjoy reading the text and seeing the photos. If you have a way to send it as a PDF it might be treated in a kinder, gentler way lol. :D > > On Sat, Dec 10, 2022 at 8:32 PM Chuck S <chucksim(a)mindspring.com> wrote: >> Remember only the good stuff, like the excitement of going through the Panama Canal. >> >>> On Dec 10, 2022, at 10:50 PM, Effie in the desert <wadesert(a)hotmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> The thing I remember most is that it was hot & sticky - the hottest Thanksgiving Day I'll ever experience! Also, the excursion was late returning to the ship and they weren't going to give us our dinner. Someone made a fuss and we got our meal. The Italian cruise line had no idea what to do with bread stuffing - they treated it like a garnish on the plate with a mere tablespoon served.

Missing Effie's annual decorated tree photos + brief personal news
by Todd Andrews 24 Dec '20

24 Dec '20

Hi All, I went looking for something to satisfy my "itch" for the holidays and stumbled across a few interesting videos that I thought I'd share. This shows what's possible using lots of low-power LED-type lights attached to a private residence: 2020 Christmas Light Show (about 3 min) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylQnK8kE8Tw> And this is even more amazing to me -- precision drone choreography. Drones in 3D space! Not a projection! 200 drones light up sky for Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival (about 5 min) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvQbN8pZLUI> Biggest drone display ever! - Guinness World Records (about 2 min) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44KvHwRHb3A> Enjoy! A brief update: As of a letter I got dated Jul 6, 2020, the judge presiding over my Social Security Disability Income hearing on Jun 17, 2020 fully approved my claim. I heard sooner than I expected -- only three weeks -- but was told to expect it could be months or even longer than a year. Many, many thanks to Nina -- there's no way I could have navigated the bureaucracy as well as I did without your help! My neck issues continue to slowly worsen (as expected) but I can still mostly take care of myself. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone! Stay safe, Todd

What Does Outer Space Smell Like?

Hope our Starman had some powerful filters on board his starship. Maybe he really landed on earth to breathe some fresh air! > > https://palmbeachpost-fl-app.newsmemory.com/?publink=1228b5d1d
