OK, we're on Day 3 (Saturday) and the ship has just pulled out of Bermuda. It's late afternoon. I lounged around. At some point, and I don't remember when, I went to the casino, pulled $20 off my onboard account, and played poker slots for a while. (I'd found the casino very confusing, had to …

Bermuda Cruise, pt. 3 (Bermuda!)
So, as I've said here and elsewhere, I've been to Bermuda twice before. In 1987, my parents and I, plus two friends, did the most amazing thing... we sailed to Bermuda from Maryland. I'll have to write about that trip in detail at some point, it was fantastic (although somewhat grueling). I'd never ocean-sailed before, …
Bermuda Cruise, Pt. 2
(We're now on Day 2 (at sea), afternoon.) As hinted, after I posted part 1, I ended up going up to the first of the three trivia sessions they were having in the afternoon: Broadway, Golden Girls and Will & Grace. Really? On a straight cruise? So I went to the Broadway one and got …
Bermuda Cruise, pt.1
So, yeah, on a cruise. By myself, which is fine. A not-gay cruise, also fine. To a place I've been before, also fine. Some basics - C and I did about 8 cruises together, on various lines, lower- and higher-end. The more we did it, the higher-end we got, not only opting for the balcony …
Theater of the Absurd
So, let's see. I've been enjoying my air conditioning when it's necessary. Eating a lot of salad. Prepping for the cruise. My own well-being and mental health have been improving. For instance, I ran across something this past week that triggered an old ... oh let's just say issue, I won't get into details... but …
Two Shows and a Movie
For those who may not pay attention to these things, the Broadway scene got a huge dump of shows right before Tony eligibility closed. So a lot of shows nominated for Tonys had just opened. I did have a lot of opportunities to see them, but every time I made a move in that direction, …
Halfway through Pride Month
Since I got home from the road trip, I haven't had a lot of scheduled stuff, but I have been putting together plans and taking advantage of some opportunities. I did go to Queens Pride, always the first weekend in June, and in my neighborhood. It was fun, as always - but no famous celebrities …
Road Trip, pt. 4
Oh, look, we're now up to Memorial Day weekend. Friday, I'd taken off, so didn't have to worry about being available online. Good thing, it was a three-hour drive from Richmond to Durham. Liz, Drew and I had been eating pretty healthily for breakfast, so as soon as I was packed and out the door, …
Road Trip, pt. 3
We're now up to the Tuesday before Memorial Day. I'm so far behind in blogging, this may turn into a historical memoir. Tuesday morning, I needed to get up and out quickly and drive from Charlottesville to Richmond (an hour) before I could start work. No fear, I slacked my team and said I'd be …
Road Trip, pt. 2
We're now at Sunday May 19th. Agenda - a leisurely trip somewhat southwest. Got up, cleaned up, went downstairs for breakfast with Bob and Sheri, very nice, and heartfelt goodbyes as they wended their way back to Columbus. On the road again. My very vague planning for this trip had indicated that I could probably …
