Saturday, October 6th, at Sea

Today was a sea day and it's also our second formal night. Our days were a whirlwind of activities but I should have kept better notes, because all I can remember today was running into Angus and Joyce at the Cova Cafe while a fellow passenger was performing a funny song about the President George Bush Sr and his dislike of broccoli. I have this and part of another song he did on film but unfortunately it's coming out blurry even though here at home it's clear. Enjoy though what you can see of it and at least the sound is decent. Angus in the background on the other side of the piano and I tried to capture him on camera a few times.


The second formal night found us at a table for five because Annette was not feeling well, so she is missing from our photo that evening.


After a lovely dinner served by Schubert and lively conversation, Thomas went back to his stateroom to spend the evening with Annette and Angus and Joyce joined us at the second show of the Celebrity singers and dancers. All three main production shows this trip were terrific. Costumes were lavish and the singers and dancers were very talented artists. We were also in the habit of joining Angus and Joyce either for a pre-dinner drink or a after dinner drink at one of the lounges after seeing a show. After our drinks A&J would be off to get some sleep and Randy and I would head to the Casino to lose some more money. This trip was terribly unlucky for us at the slots and it wasn't because the ship slots were tight as Thomas ended up $4,000 ahead for the trip at the slots he was playing and Russ, a retired broadway-off broadway actor we met on the cruise was up over $18,000!
