Happy Birthday, Mom...

Yes, today is that day. She would be 59 today. It's ok--I don't actually feel sad. Maybe a little bummed, but not sad. Had some yummy food, will have some gelato in a bit. Yum! Today's a good day though. We have the night off, so I will have a date with my computer watching some movies I've wanted to watch for a while, courtesy of my roomie.

And speaking of which, my new roomie is awesome! I can't express how nice it is to be in my cabin and not be waiting for the dragon of doom to come through the door...*sigh* SO nice...:O)

Had a chance to be Musical Director for a cruise. And yet again, I found myself in a position that has too much responsibility for too little money...The story of my life...hee hee! I was responsible for 5 people's sign-off information, a new guy signing on only for one cruise who's never been on a boat before, and a drummer who has absolute contempt for Carnival, their management, etc...So, it was a special time, nonetheless...:O) I can't say I'd take that job if it were offered to me though...not for any less than $35,000 a year( I think MD's only make $75 a week more than musicians do!). Heh, and Carnival is a corporation. Corporations are cheap bastards. We all know that now, don't we?....:O)

Otherwise, nothing is new. we're in Cozumel today. Sky has some clouds, but the sun peeks through. Temperature is very pleasant. I think I may go nap when I get back on the boat...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
