So far, so good. Some work: playing, coaching, singing. Some play: walking around The Ship, reading on deck (I'm already halfway through "The Metropolis Case", and now a few hours in port walking around trying to find some pretty and/or interesting things to take pictures of.

As much as I wish my coachings didn't have to start at 9:30 each morning, that has made for some long days, but in the good sense. -Especially since we dine during the second dinner seating at 8:30 each evening.

We're docked at St. Thomas today, then it's on to St. Lucia, Barbados and Dominica before we start the journey back to the Port of Brooklyn.

Luckily(?), since St. Thomas is a U.S. V.I., I have access to the web via AT&T's network. I'm not sure about the other ports.

Thanks again for all the well wishes and travel vibes. They seem to be working their magic.

I hope everyone is getting better, keeping busy, and smiling and laughing.

Until...

Laters...

Hi, DR Jose - thanks for checking in! Hope your trip continues to go well. I'm wondering if you'll sail by Charleston or Savannah while Richard and I are there?

Tonight is the GoDaddy.com bowl in Mobile, Alabama, and one of the contenders is Miami University. Our niece/goddaughter Lauren is there with the team as a trainer and, apparently, has had a fabulous week. One of her heroines is Danica Patrick, who spoke at the Mayor's luncheon yesterday. Here is the autographed football Lauren received:

What is this insane obsession the entertainment media have with the Kardashians???

Anyone??

It's funny that you mention this. Until last week I knew very little about them. I'd never seen the show.

But last week I got sick and was up for quite a few hours in the middle of the night. And when of the channels I watch just switched to E!

And they have the Kardashians show on all through the night. It is so funny! I thought I would hate it (and I like reality tv). But it was very funny and I will definitely watch it again.

JRand, how can you go without breakfast...it is the most important meal of the day.

I have always said that & believed in eating breakfast, now I rarely eat it until I return from my morning hike. I get sick if I eat first.

I'm surprised that you can hike without eating first. I would never do exercise without eating first. Your body needs it. One time I tried to bike without eating first and I did not have enough energy to do it.

Although that said I am not a big breakfast eater. I just don't get hungry early in the morning. But if I swim early then I make sure i eat.

And i go by what my stomach says. If I am hungry early then i eat. ANd I try to have a yogurt or fruit.

And sometimes I even eat lunch at 10:30am or 11am!

I love St Thomas! I am jealous!

My aunt is on a cruise now and she is going or just went to St Thomas.

TOD: Take a large glass jar with a good lid. Fill with at least 1 dozen whole eggs (the free-range or no-cage kind where the yolks are more orange than yellow). Top with the shavings of one black truffle. Seal jar and let sit someplace cool for 1 week, so the aroma of the truffle can permeate the egg shell and into the yolks. After a week, crack the shells, whisk the eggs with a little heavy cream and a fine chop of some of the black truffle. Add a splash of black truffle oil for extra measure. Scramble the eggs until cooked to the doneness you like. Serve with Champagne, preferably an aged rose' sparkler.

Now that's good eats.

I know but weak is better than sick, trust me. The later I leave the more likely I am to cheat & have a little sugar. Today I left late and just finished eating blueberries, marionberries and Flax Plus Redberry Crunch cereal.

TOD - one of the best brunches I've ever had was at Sarabeth's Kitchen on Central Park South before our Central Park walking tour with DR Jose. I had the garden omelette, with broccoli, corn, carrots, and cheddar cheese - lots of veggies, very crisp.

I used to like to wait a couple of hours after getting up before having breakfast, but now that I've stopped snacking at night I wake up ready for breakfast after one cup of coffee. And, since I have to take a "cocktail" of meds, I don't like to wait too late to eat.

Jane · « **Reply #76 on:** January 06, 2011, 02:32:53 PM »

I do have to have a few bites of something to help my morning pills go down. I rarely snack at night.

I've started checking the weather for the 3 major stops on our "Southern Charm 30th Anniversary Tour" and it looks like Charleston has highs in the 40s, Savannah in the 50s, and St. Augustine in the 60s. Sounds like this won't be a shorts & t-shirts trip, but that's OK. And we're just getting to the point where the 10-day forecasts are of any use, so maybe we'll see some warming...

All this talk of breakfast made me hungry, so I had some bacon, eggs, rye toast and home fries, all excellent. I wrote some checks, picked up no packages and no mail, and am back writing now. In about an hour I'll go Xerox however many pages I have and take them over to Muse Margaret.

We have been told to be sure to eat shrimp & grits in Charleston...

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh....shrimp and grits.

And if you can find them, have some catfish and grits!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #82 on:** January 06, 2011, 02:59:38 PM »

As for those who've not had grits, especially our Canadian friend....what "do" you eat for brekkies?

Pemmican?

We had a fantastic day of recording! It went so well that I had to call our second singer tomorrow and ask her to come an hour early. Good work from Ron, Jeanne, and Marnie, and I think these recordngs will rock.

I just came in and in today's mail I got CASINO ROYALE! So I got the right Kritzerland shipment.

I know that this isn't it, but I found this YouTube clip of Clucks & Meows Lakme's "Flower Duet".

I don't think I've ever even seen grits.

I'm not a big breakfast person. But most people here eat cereal or toast or eggs for breakfast. Nothing fancy.
