Cruise Life

One evening while exploring the ship, Bill and I ventured out onto the mid-ship deck. It was windy; we followed the sign’s admonishment to “grasp the rail.” We were trying to go as high as we could, but the last stairway we came to was roped off. “Closed,” the sign read, “due to high winds.” We remained there a moment, disappointed, although the wind pulled at us even on this lower deck. And then we saw another sign mounted on the wall next to the staircase: “No cameras or video. Adults 18 and over only. Tops optional.”

I’m not going to say another word about that.

I’m guessing they don’t want anyone taking a picture of someone’s hat flying off into the wind (if they were wearing one, since it’s optional, and it would only be embarrassing if you were over 18).Strange times, you can’t drink a glass of wine alone if you’re 18 but it’s OK to get nekkid in a crowd.

The “Elders” at Emmaus Way would like to schedule an immediate appointment with you and Bill, 🙂

Tim, Would this be a scolding kind of meeting or a “how to” kind of meeting?

As a great comedic giant of the 21st century once said, “Now THAT’S funny.” And to cross threads and posters: No, it’s Talking Heads, “Once in a Lifetime”. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same, as, it, ever, was…

I’ve definitely earned the right to be present at the appointment with the Emmaus Way elders. If you need proof, I can reference a certain lunch at Fishmonger’s or an Emergent conference in Nashville.
