Crawling Through St. Croix

Monday, May 20th, 2013

First posted July 24, 2008 I didn’t really crawl there.  That just sounded like a cool title.  A lot of cruise ships stop at St. Thomas, USVI, but as much as I liked St. Thomas, St. Croix had more of a draw for me.  I guess maybe that was because it didn’t have as much […]

Transformation

Sunday, May 19th, 2013

I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the […]

It’s a Jungle Out There!

Sunday, May 19th, 2013

First posted July 17, 2008 I suppose by now you’ve figured out that my mind can travel down some paths not frequently traveled. While in Walgreen’s last week something caught my eye as I was passing the cosmetic counter.  I had to turn around and go back and get a better look.  I really just […]

I Don’t Hate Home Depot Anymore

Saturday, May 18th, 2013

First posted July 11, 2008 Hate is actually too strong a word to use for the feelings I’ve had towards Home Depot, but I’ve had no reason to not have an active dislike for them.  The attitude at Home Depot should be that of wanting to assist the customer by providing expertise and knowledge of what […]

Back to Grenada

Friday, May 17th, 2013

First posted July 10. 2008 I was transferred from the ship that took me to Grenada every week, but the island kept calling me back.  I finally signed off my ship for a work break and spent a week in St. George.  Getting there was a bit of a struggle.  We started on our flight […]

Enjoyable Exercise

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

First posted July 4, 2008 I’ve really been having a major problem getting motivated to exercise regularly.  It’s the getting started that seems to be the problem for me.  Once I get going a few times it starts being more of a fun thing rather than work.  We have a nice little gym down at the […]

The Spice Island

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

First posted July 3, 2008 One of the ships I worked on had a cook everyone called Spice.  One day I got a chance to ask him how he ended up as Spice.  He told me that he was nicknamed Spice because he’s from the Spice Island.  Well, I had never heard of that particular island […]
