Wow another great day at sea and my second memoir writing class.  I have already written the start of one chapter and beware I am naming names.  They will not be changed to protect the innocent!  Since none of you are innocent!  Really enjoying this class hopefully I will learn a lot. This afternoon was the Grand Gala Buffet and I took some pictures but they did not come out well at all so you are saved.    Tonight our head waiter Augusto made us a special pasta again.  This one was just as good as the one the other night.  Cheltan our senior waiter is from India and he just rejoined the ship in LA after his long break.  He said it was hard this time as he is leaving behind his wife and a 2 month old little girl in India.  Our waiter is Javier he is from Spain and the first time he has ever worked on a cruise ship.  He also joined the ship in LA and he is the best waiter (bus boy) I think we have ever had.  He is just so sweet and accommodating.  Cheltan knows I like chocolate not good he finds me some all the time now.  After our pasta I had the filet mignon it had to be at least 10 ounces I ate 1/3 of it and Bill had a taste and there still was  a lot left.  Then Augusto had them make us chocolate souffles for dessert.  With chocolate sauce of course.  I could not even finish it.  I know what is happening to me.  Cheltan came over and said he had two more for us I said I'll have it for breakfast now I am afraid to see him in the am he might just take me up on that.  I am so stuffed and there is no show tonight.  There was one show earlier and to be honest we forgot to go!  Well we went into the casino and picked out our squares for the superbowl!
As I said earlier we gain another hour tonight we have gained 4 hours since we left Arizona and all I can think about is the return trip when we have to give all this back.  Well Bill is in the cigar lounge and I am going to read my 5th book since I boarded the ship on the 18th.  ALL THIS RELAXING IS EXHAUSTING!
So Good Night and God Bless
