This blog episode was written on Thursday evening as we waited for the start of the big production show, Save the Last Dance.  We saw another show earlier: a comedian called Ivor Richards, the King of the One-liners.  A good name and a good act.  We've seen him before and some of his jokes had a familiar ring to them.  It's probably a comedian's dream: a totally new audience every couple of weeks. You could use the same jokes for years.

We had fronted up to the Dinîng Room ready to check out our table-mates but they're re-arranging the tables tomorrow so it was open seating. We found ourselves at a table for 2 which is our preference anyway.  The food was outstanding and that's always a bonus.

The second Trivia was held this afternoon and again we missed out on a first place by one point.  I hope it's not a pattern developing.  There's certainly lots to do on the ship and we find ourselves having to make a choice from time to time.  Sometimes, we split up to follow our personal choice. Marilyn wanted to go to an Art Auction but I felt like seeing a movie about Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple computers.  I didn't get to see the end of it but that was probably a good thing.  He was not a nice man and, if I had stayed longer, I might have started to shout at the screen (or maybe not.). I would probably have bottled it up and let it eat away at me inside.  There's no justice in the world when the least deserving people get all the talent, and opportunities, and money!!  Maybe the rest of us will get our rewards in heaven.
