I have a sunset today rather than a sunrise.  It's from the 2019 Prinsendam Grand South America cruise and March 23 was a sea day from Aruba back to Fort Lauderdale:

Roy, it's great that you are back posting.  Although healing might be taking longer than you would like, positive memories from the past, and hope for the future, helps people to heal.  Wishing you all the best.

Reminds me of Home Alone but I took this one in Rome rather than Manhattan.

 

 

Happy Friday.

Today's sunrise is from my Zaandam cruise from Buenos Aires to San Diego.  March 24, 2016 was a sea day from Montevideo to the Falklands:

 

 

Incidentally in the Falklands I laid eyes on an old friend, my absolute favorite ship that I have never set foot on, RSS Shackleton, our escort ship for the Northwest Passage voyage.

How things can change in less than 24 hours.

 

Going into yesterday I was poised to have a good chance winning the NCAA Bracket for Men's Basketball based on my selections until Houston & Alabama lost.  Almost everyone in my bracket is done.  None of our teams that we thought would get to the final four and to the championship are in it now.

 

As they say there is always next year.

Keith - you need to be a UCONN fan  - although that could also change quickly.  The only thing that won't change is the value of NY Pizza

You are right.  I should have gone with UCONN and I always go with NY pizza.

I know Patty.

 

I went with them for quite a few games but regrettably picked them to lose later on when they won.  I try to keep my emotions away from decisions unless it comes to baseball.  LOL.

 

We do like UT and TTU. They both had something in common this year losing both coaches.

I quit filling out a bracket years ago.  Found myself cheering for too many schools I really don't like.  Now I just go along for the ride. 

 

Now?  Go Huskies(gotta root for your conference.)

Nine years ago.  There are several places around the world that we always enjoy retiring to and this is one of them.

 

Plus we enjoy all of the places listed on this sign.

@Keith1010, you were my first thought when I saw this. I hope you’ll get to enjoy “spinning” one of these days on New Crystal!

Thanks Brian. This one was a favorite of many of the people I used to spin with.  I do look forward to spinning on the NC.

Qualifier required, methinks. Root for your conference, except for the one team you really despise.
