A big hooray and thank you to Reggie! I want to hear about your bridge tour when you get back.

Harry, I will be thinking of you as Dec. 4 gets closer, and I wish you a great interview. As I'm sure everyone else here at CLF does.

Reggie

Reggie, that is beyond cool. To be able to go onto the bridge and meet the Captain there is awesome. And thank you so much for taking Harry's drawing and letter to Captain Wright. He gave the job to the right man.

I was looking for you when I watched the GMA episode on TV, just in case you were there.

Christmas seems to come earlier and earlier each year. I can't say I've heard any on the local radio yet, but I've not been listen to it much!

However on a music channel on the television they had the top 40 Christmas songs playing!

Harry, they push Christmas earlier and earlier here. The commercialization is just sickening. In Macy's they had Christmas music & decorations up in SEPTEMBER! By the time the day comes I just want it over so we don't have to see all the adds on TV.

Hope you had a good week. How's Earl keeping? Tell him I said Hi.

Doing anything nice this weekend?

We all are great here. Earl is doing well, works too much as always. He loves his job and takes it very seriously; plus he's the one responsible for making sure our business runs well so he spends a lot of time there as well. 12 hours is a long day. Good thing we have holidays coming up, we are very good at relaxing well.

2 - 3 weeks?!! That's a long time to deal with tooth pain. I hope they are able to get your surgery scheduled soon so you can move on with your life.

Jerry, my husband lived in England and a few other countries over his childhood. From what he's explained to me, "college" in other countries is like our community college here and "University" is a 4 year or more institution. That's why you will see so many colleges here going through the trouble of changing their name to University... to help pull in more international students.

Regards,Jerry

Jerry, at the time did your parents have a choice of sending you to Kindergarten? My husband did not go to kindergarten, he skipped and started with 1st grade when he was 6.

I made about 10 trips to Guest Relations and was stonewalled for quite some time. I was shuffled around and around but finally talked to the right person. Since I'm Diamond Plus and had my SeaPass from Enchantment showing that, I finally got someone to speak to the Captain and relay my request. Knowing how much it meant to Harry I refused to give up and my persistance finally paid off.

The bridge is rather unique from other ships as the navigation area and safety control areas are separated by sliding glass doors. The navigation bridge is solely for the nav functions and separate from the safety bridge.
