Cool cool cool

ETA I am pleased and mildly surprised at all the normal results!

I went to the ER back in August and get my lab results in my email/patient portal about 10 or 15 minutes before the doc came in to tell me about them. It probably made the conversation much smoother for him.

that Brendon can stand upright in.

I was thinking about that! The thought of sleeping in a rocking boat with the sound of water is lovely, for sure.

What I think I would prefer is my own sleeper car on a perpetually moving train traversing many countries. Some combination of the French Blue Line, Orient Express and California Zephyr.

Mmm, living on a train would be nice. As long as it didn't turn all Snowpiercer, I suppose. Amtrak passes do not seem to be structured to allow me to even vacation like that, though. Or weren't last time I checked.

msbelle, thanks for the offer, but I think I can manage. If not, there's the maintenance crew (one of the advantages of living in an apartment).

In DC there is - or was - a community of people who lived on their boats. It was a life they'd chosen, although they had to admit that it would get cold in the winter; conversely, in the summer, it was much more pleasant than most of the rest of the city. And years ago, on my first visit to Seattle, I saw a sign for a bunk-and-breakfast.

I've had a number of friends who lived on boats and have lived in a serious boating area for several decades so I am pretty sound on what it takes. Some of the marinas have little dog parks. I'll have to investigate that part. Of course, I have So Much Stuff. I need someone to visit and help me purge. I have 6 big-screen TVs. (4 bedroom, 2 living areas) Seriously, too much stuff.

My pie in the sky dream is a year-long around the world cruise. You get fed, you get to see a million cool places.

That sounds good, Dana. I have heard that the cost of living on a cruise ship can work out to be equivalent to living in an apartment once you account for everything that’s included, but that has to depend a lot on where the apartment you’re comparing it to is.

I heard something on the radio about a cruise company offering pretty much that. An around-the-world cruise that takes several months starting in ... I think 2023.
