It's been an insane tempo for the last three weeks-and something had to give. Blogging was it. Plus, if anyone could pick three weeks to be out of the grid, the last three weeks were it. During the DNC I was in Israel-and getting up early to drive 60 miles a day just takes it out of you. Then I came back to Germany to watch the Trump implosion and all the attendant stupidity. Since I despise Trump and his legions of followers, I think it just shows what a truly worthless man he is and has been. He's done nothing to change my mind on that subject.
Plus, the Olympics started with this:

On the plus side-being over here and watching the Olympics on a British Satellite system means: 1) No Bob Costas and 2) NO commercials plus the ability to pick among the events going on live.
So there is that.
What with going on the cruise and then traveling for business for two weeks, I've been busy.
So, I'll get to Trump and his worthless stupidity in good time. But today I'd like to pass along the first of neat things I found on You Tube made by a fellow passenger, who I never met, on the very same cruise we were on. Here then, is a quick view of the Serenade of the Seas:
We had a great time and I don't want to spoil the memory just yet. Enjoy. More to follow. This video was of the sail away from Stockholm which is pretty nice.
