At Sea



Today was the beginning of the second half of the cruise.  I can’t believe we have already had half the cruise – the time went by so quickly.



We had three Judys, three Kathys (all spelled differently), and Bonnie at Sit and Stitch.  I went down at 10:30 to get yarn for my next Linus blanket (my current one is almost done)



Morning trivia was really hard.  The winning teams (3 tied) had 8 out of 15, we had 6.

1)Who sang the 1956 song “Ape Call”?

2.What was the first sport related movie to win a Best Picture Oscar?

3.To a golfer, what is a “frosty”?

4.Which city has an airport named after Galileo?

5.Which car brand’s name translates from the Latin “to roll”?



I worked on my Linus blanket (should finish it tomorrow) before lunch.  I finished one project yesterday and my socks today, so before Arts & Crafts I started a shawl with some of my new yarn from Sydney.  We made a card in Arts & Crafts but I couldn’t decide how I wanted to put it together so I did not finish mine.



We did a little better in afternoon trivia with 10 out of 18.  The winners had 15.



1.What is a “skulk”?

2.Where is the heart of a shrimp located?

3.In the early 18^th century, Baroque evolved into what style?

4.What tree can be English, American, or Eurasian?

5.Pogonophobia is a fear of what human male feature?



There was a 6:30 trivia and I played with the “We Don’t Need Google” team.  We had 16 out of 20 and the winners had 19.



1.What color is the “all clear” flag in auto racing?

2.What mountain range is sacred to Hindus?

3.What does a bartender call 2/3 of a jigger?

4.Which is the last of a cat’s senses to develop?

5.What do Belgians and the Dutch prefer to put on the French fries rather than catsup?



When I got to dinner tonight, I was the only one at the table so I asked if I could join Judy (Margaret), Pete, and Susan at their table.  It was an enjoyable evening.  I did not go to the show.
