Book Board Chat

That sports writer I wrote about earlier may have had a point. The Belmont Stakes is a distance race. Seize the Grey was in first place (giving its owners heart attacks) until the final stretch where he tired out and quickly dropped back to 7th place. Bummer.

My wife and I just finished another one week cruise on the gigantic Icon of the Seas cruise ship. I think we are ready to go back to the smaller cruise ships. The Icon of the Seas seems to be geared for younger couples and families with children. There are lots or water pool areas, and bars and lots of giant water slides. Elderly people can get a bit tired out walking the greater distances on the ship. In the old days most of the passengers on the cruise ships seemed to be old retired people. Now I would say the passengers are much younger, early middle age or younger. People are no longer tied down to their jobs as they can now work with their computers on the ships.

Curt, you are welcome and thanks again.
