Life on a Cruise Ship

-

 One of the things our technological age has done is give people the freedom to work from most anywhere in the world.  All one needs is a computer with Internet access and a cell phone.  There are some rather enterprising individuals that call a cruise ship home.  They wonder why they should pay monthly rent when for about the same amount they get free meals, drinks, access to a gym, and Wi-Fi access anywhere on a ship.  All for the same monthly rent they'd be paying most anywhere.

And if a cruise ship isn't your thing, our technological age has allowed people to live most anywhere of their choice.  Some have bought RVs that allows them to travel most anywhere in the continental US.  And if traveling isn't your thing, buying a tiny home is affordable most anywhere one chooses to live.  The options are limitless for those who work from home.

Some companies like Amazon are now saying those people who have been working from home have to come in the office at least a few days a week.  This will force some to either quit their jobs or return to a more normal lifestyle.  So, doing the unconventional may force some to forgo their unconventionality and return to a more normal lifestyle.  So before one ventures off to see the world some future planning needs to be taken into account.

Google has said it's at-home workers are going to be asked to come in to the offices, or risk losing their jobs.  So, before one goes off the grid or seeks to travel the world, one first needs to be sure their jobs are secure.  And before one embarks on a permanent vacation on a cruise ship, one needs to take into account all the extras and tipping.  That brochure looks enticing unless you read what in not included in your fare.  

I myself might spend a lot of time in the smokers' lounge or maybe that ten foot by ten foot area on the outside deck where smoking is permitted outside.  I don't know if life on a cruise ship really is that idyllic.  But I'm sure they have nice amenities and food available 24 hours a day.  I've heard of retirees living on cruise ships. But most of them are pretty wealthy and will rent the suites or the most expensive accommodations.  

It just doesn't seem like a great idea to me to live on a cruise ship.  I've been on a few cruises, but making life on a cruise ship just doesn't appeal to me.  I'd rather sit on a lanai and smoke my pipe.  Today it is my Peterson System pipe with the last of my Captain Black Dark Cavendish.  I put my Eileen's Dream in a jar and smoked the last of Consummate Gentleman and Caribbean Blue Wyme.  I still have left some Captain Black Platinum and a lot of the Original Captain Black.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
