This site, created & maintained by our benefactor, Brian MacDonald, has been going strong for over two and a half years. For this, all you wonderful people that make this site a welcome and caring outpost, and the fantastic creators who give us their gifts every week, first Tuesdays of each month, and the occasional Monday, we are most thankful.

Our esteemed Cruise Director, Bob Stevens, is busy with family, today. The wonderful Wendy Walker has agreed to stand in his stead.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks to Joe and all muggles. This past year has been a blast for me in discovering metas and this community. I look forward to many more metas, rabbit holes, nudges, and maybe another mug.

On shore; not quite as easy as I had been expecting, but still way easier than the last four weeks.
