Every day I get to go to work---on a cruise ship! It is the In to my Sane-Doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result. The actual quote is: Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results. Like poker---sometimes making the right mistake pays off. I rather be lucky than skillful. Remember , The Color of Money lyrics, " It's in the way that you use it..It comes and it goes..."   I think of Paul Newman's  statement "The extraordinary role that luck plays in all our lives..." " Luck is an art . Luck just marches by any number of people, and they're looking in any direction but where luck is. I guess I know how to look in the right direction." Paul Newman I wrote about this in relation to Poker in 2008, The number #1 thing I hate about the game I love .

Playing the game of staged authenticity in the tourist themed spaces of  The Renaissance Curacao Resort .It's got Caribbean charm combined with European sophistication. Built around the historic setting of the Rif Fort, the copy is better than the original . Set amidst the color and beauty of the historic Dutch Caribbean city of Willemstad, the power of new is in full view. H8 the game,not the player(s).

Action Sustains Hope Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying Besides The Godfather , Shawshank is my favorite movie- It is about Hope and Action going  hand in hand. Andy worked on his wall for 19 years and in the mean time made improvements to his surroundings that benefitted not only himself, but the lives of everyone around him. If you are going through hell-keep moving in a positive direction.Hell is not just other people; it is other people's thoughts about you.

As good as it gets, all of these Caribbean islands  have white sandy shorelines with the same New Yorkers you might be fighting with for parking spaces back home only this time it's beach chairs.  ABC Aruba Bonaire and Curacao  Actually BCA- that is the order we are sailing. Little Amsterdam, or Willemstad  in Curacao on  Thanksgiving.  I always like sailing to the Netherlands Antilles.Ten Years ago I came here with fifty dollars and left with $300. Now that's how they vacation in The Netherlands or is this Venezuela? They sell the paradise experience real well here.   Last year, on Crystal was amazing. Two years   before on MSC.  A is For Aruba  They speak a lot more Dutch here (in Aruba) than I expected. There's a lot of casinos, and a lot of the online poker/sportsbook sites who set up -offshore-shops. B is for Bonaire, and I  haven't been there yet. So tomorrow I am looking forward to a  Life Is A Beach day ...

The view from the Noordam.

Tendering today in Samana, a place Columbus called the fairest place n Earth.Now it is just a plastic beach.

Freedom Without Restraint The Caribbean White Sand/Coral Beaches with that signature  clear & warm turquoise water away from the masses of tourists, palm trees swaying in a gentle breeze- OK I'm sold. Check please.   Mr Ed  and Ed- the symbols of travel, movement, and desire.

This is the islands idea of cheap insurance Geiko. There are iguanas all over this place

I often joke when asked " What cruise line do you work with?"- Everyone just about except Holland America. I can no longer say that.

Let the Orinoco Flow After M,T here on Sunday  comes WTF!  OMG LMAO TTUL8R K

Do you smell that? naPalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of naPalms in The Caribbean.

Hello old friends. Last time I swam in these Caribbean blue waters of Bridgetown  was 2009. Same shirt different day! The key ski Guy and waiter are still working their jobs-it is island time and one long day for these folks.

Ah St Lucia! Procrastinate Now! All you can eat of the upside down fruit. The locals are co co for coconuts too and all here because they are not all there.  Island time (manana) takes a New York minute to come into focus. Seinfeld is a show about nothing and the vibe in this vacation spot makes this the Island about nothing. The espresso I had on the ship makes me want to do nothing faster but instant gratification takes too long around here. Oh wait...the Guy with the machete is chopping coconunts.Nothing like the water from one of those to act ad the natural Gatorade.

Epic Visit to South India Holy Cow - South India, 2011 My epic visits to South India—Goa and Cochin—have left indelible impressions. The first time was in 2011 aboard the Crystal Symphony with Saarah, and again in 2018 on the majestic Cunard Queen Mary 2. What a contrast between the chaos and calm, the sacred cows and sizzling cuisine. After time spent in India—a place where professional thieves, beggars, con artists , and very skinny cows rule the streets—you quickly realize that a vegetarian is only as lactose intolerant as his options. The happy-go-locals will eat anything with wings except airplanes, and everything with legs except tables. Margaret Mead once said, "It is easier to change your religion than your diet." I’ve found that in America, you don’t need to change either—just keep an open mind and an open mouth. Picasso took 10 years to paint like Rafael, and a lifetime to paint like a child. ...
