Never absurd to abstain. I’m also ETOH-free for a few days, but in an effort to get better sleep and reduce jet lag for an upcoming trip. Cheers!

I'm not sure when the last time was I got ashore in the first 24 hours. Just water will be fine, thanks.
As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all — the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.

Caipirinha time
In the old wheelhouse, eh? So, what makes a Radio Frequency Engineer an expert in Global Powers? Harumph! :)

I think that a toast of Prosecco is in order.
Wait.... You're saying you're NOT having a Smithwick's Red Ale? Even though you're on Page 1??? That would be like @Al Sisti not having a Guiness!

Oh dear. Something is akilter in the universe! Seek shelter!
Fear not! A day without Smithwick's is like a day without sunshine. The toast of Prosecco was just a celebratory gesture! :)

Not seeing it yet. I am going fishing. Maybe being out on my boat will get me off of the ship.

Good Friday morning muggles

First thank you to Wendy for opening for me yesterday. Team work is appreciated

We have 3 on the ship and 125 on the shore with Mr. Shenk's fun meta.

Ashore, but definitely not under my own power. And definitely not in my wheelhouse
