I don't mean to be stuck on bad lounge music...

but I am. It should be illegal for the soundtrack from Grease to be sung in Norwegian! It should be illegal for a bunch of drunk Americans, Germans and Norwegians (the predominant folks on this cruise) to sing along. For a moment I thought I was in a twilight zone episode. One from which there was no escape from this horror of horrors. At the moment at least, they are playing some slow jazz and I'm far enough away not to hear the singing. I'm thinking jazz, with one guy playing sax and keyboards both, can't be that good. The woman only sings, and that's the extent of the band. Oh, and she looks to be Japanese. So now you have to imagine a Japanese woman singing Grease in Norwegian. Makes you kind of sick doesn't it?

Speaking of sick, today we are experiencing a storm. In the south of the states they call this a huricane. In Oregon, I know we joke that we are just having a windy day. Here, we are a toy boat in a bathtub full of rambuncious four year old boys. I know I'm a newbie at this cruise thing because I'm just trying to stay laid down in one place without loosing my last meal while all these AARP members are eating and drinking the night away like they are at the local Elks club. The best line I heard tonight was one gentleman (American of course) who said "Gee, I'm walking like I've been drinking. Oh, wait, I have been drinking!" I bet the retired police offiers have some kind of inside joke about sobriety tests and cruises.

Ok, I promise, no more comments about the bad lounge music. Really.
