You probably remember my recent posts about the recent Celebrity Mercury refurbishment and how our cabin we had booked for the Alaskan cruise this summer was being upgraded. Well, the Mercury has finished it’s dry dock refurbishment and is back in service. We now have a photo of the Mercury back in service complete with […]
The Guardian
We got a chance this weekend to view the movie The Guardian. As mentioned before, we don’t get to the theater very often and prefer to watch movies in the comfort of our home theater, so we are sometimes slow in watching movies. Also, we tend to watch a lot of old films that we […]
Sean’s Baseball Team Moves To 2 – 0
If it’s Spring time and Saturday, it must be time for a baseball game for Sean. However, today hardly seemed like Spring as the temperature was only in the mid 50’s with a chilly wind. It’s been in the upper 70’s or low 80’s for the past couple of weeks. Once again, Sean’s team was […]
Baseball Season Begins
Tonight, Sean’s baseball team kicked off the new season in fine fashion, winning by Mercy Rule 14 – 1. The game only went 3 innings as it was very one sided. Sean started the game at catcher and caught the first two innings. Boy, has he improved over last year. He was very effective in […]
Celebrity Mercury in Dry Dock

As mentioned before, our cruise to Alaska onboard the Celebrity Mercury is approaching. I also mentioned, quite gleefully I am sure, that Mercury would be undergoing a refurbishment prior to our cruise in which our cabin would get a balcony added to it. The time has come and Mercury is now in dry dock. Below, […]
Cruise IQ
Tonight, we played a round of Cruise IQ. It’s not one of my favorite games, but Suzanne and the kids really like the game. The game is basically Trivial Pursuit but dealing with cruising. The object of the game is to cruise your ship around the World to various ports and answer trivia questions in […]
Internet Finally Fixed
Today was a good day! Finally, my internet service appears to be back in solid operation. For the last couple of weeks, our internet connection has been dropping every five or ten minutes. It was only for 30 seconds to a minute, but it was very aggravating. I have been working with my provider, Sunncast, […]
300 vs 300 Spartans
We finally got a chance this past weekend to watch the old classic movie 300 Spartans. You might remember my post on the current movie 300, and the issues I had with it. I also related that, as I remembered, the original 1960’s movie was much much better. Suzanne, Sean and myself sat down to […]
Celebrity Mercury Upgrade
In June, we will be cruising to Alaska on board the Celebrity Mercury. It’s been 14 years since we have cruise to Alaska, so it will be nice to go back. When we last cruised to Alaska, I don’t think we ever had more than our ship in port. A cruise to Alaska was not […]
Happy Easter
Happy Easter to everyone! I hope yours is as pleasant as ours has been thus far. We started the morning out with Easter Mass at one of our community members ranches. It was a wonderful ceremony held outside with the rolling hills and mountains as a backdrop. A cool breeze filled the air. Afterwards, myself […]
