Captain, who is driving the ship, Microsoft? I want a boat that drinks 6, eats 4, and sleeps 2. I got a cruise ship instead that drinks,eats and sleeps 3,200. I agree with  Joseph Conrad:  There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.

My Wishbone Is My Backbone

My Attitude Is Still  Getting Me Altitude! In 1971 Schlitz Beer commercial‘s on my B&W  TV depicted adventurous men diving for gold, sailing the 7 seas.   “Go for the gusto! ... you only go around   once in life”   Note to self: The earth school kills all of its students. Life is like r owing out to sea in a boat that has a hole in the bottom. Have as   much joy and fun and fulfillment- because success without fulfillment is     failure.    Yet doing the right thing at the wrong time equals pain- I would recommend that everyone who wanted to travel, do it immediately. Sooner rather than later.   Gather no moss. The  digital convergence and celestial jukeboxes (Cell Phones, TV's, Computer Screens)  are the sound track and sound bytes of our lives- But the content is  somebody elses point of view. What is deeply personal is universal yet what  gives our lives meaning and gravitas is our own Autobiography. ...

@Sea-Emperor's New Suit

Despite  budget cuts, the light at the end of the tunnel is still on  There are three sorts of people; those who are alive, those who are dead, and those who are at sea. Going out on the open water is  the infinity of hope, the preview of life's coming attractions where you have final cut in your own movie.  You can lose yourself in the ocean's food for thought. Its  menu  is  the meal,  and itineraries are full of promises. It gives you a  sense of destination and the energy to get started again. Disney Magic  Call it faith!  A passion for the possible. I am full of it, and shooting from the hip that is to say,   having  an adventure  is something more but nothing less than bad planning.  It's (F)unemployment.  Never heard of funemployment? It's the person who quits his job or takes advantage of being out of a "job" to have the time of their life. Instead of punching a clock, you head for the beac...

Unique New York-All You Need Is Britto

Image
There are over a 100 museums in New York, and I didn't have to visit one this afternoon. The sidewalk is not my runway, the world is not my canvas, but Manhattan's  street  space  is my gallery without walls. Matisse channeling Picasso by way of Hello Kitty is the best way to describe pop artist, Britto. He's everywhere in South Florida, and brings a little Miami sunshine to midtown Manhattan today. It's about optimism, love and hope and it inspires  all of us to creatively play, imagine and enjoy  what is. . With Sarah Kennedy What could be more basic than to wish that every one  have a healthier and happier life.Art without the angst or the drama---smiling kittens, dancing clowns, and polka-dot palm trees in peoples homes and peoples lives. No one in the elite art world would say it was "good" but O brigado! anyway. It's hard to meet a person who doesn't like his workYet, with  increased notoriety comes criticism. EnLighten Up! It's just art peop...

Halifax-The Write Place

Image
Write? Right! I like writing. I just don't like the paper work. Pulp-free fiction-blogging is literature in a hurry. Today we are in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Before I started sailing, I didn't even know what street Canada was on. In fact, Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party. Like: "Keep it down, eh?" Canadians are nothing more than unarmed Americans with great health care, a nation of people who came from somewhere else. There's a lot of History at Pier 21 in the Halifax port, Canada's version of Ellis Island ,where one million immigrants landed between 1928-1971 on steam ships and ocean liners. In April, 1912, Halifax was the hub of rescue operations for the Titanic. (Great movie: Spoiler alert: A lot of people die at the end). Because you can't spell mansLaughter without laughter.. What do you get if you cross the Atlantic Ocean with the Titanic? About halfway! On the Titanic the captain calls a meeting of his officers: 'I have ...

Manhattan Project- NY is The Bomb

The whole object of traveling  is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land. My mind keeps repeating this simple mantra: New York City is awesome! So awesome that the city of hyperbole and superlatives has 98 names. (see below). I, on the other hand, am not better than New York. I am, however better than I used to be. After all, doing things right the first time is an obscenity. Growing old isn't optional, growing up is. As a  student living in New York City, if your food comfort zones  ain’t broke, don’t just break them, break it before someone else does. There were restaurants of every shape, size smell and color, and that was what I was- a connoisseur in starvation. I  wasn't  a gourmet chef but I was a gourmet eater. This was my one act of rebellion- eating what I wanted, not what was on the menu. Putting the fun in dysFUNctional meals, We had two staples growing up--- Steak and Potatoes, and ...
