[224.1]
Hello from Palm Springs….61 and overcast here as opposed to 59 and party cloudy at home in Olympia!
Two questions:
1) What are you gonna do with all that shipboard space other than perhaps fill it with soap suds from a specialty soap shop (…shades of the last trip to nowhere)?
2) How come I don’t get to review scholarship applicants no more; i liked that!
Cheers,
Curt
