Hmm. Now I am wondering what other specialty jobs might get us on cruises ....

Very cool.

Thanks!

I can think of dozens of people on cruises who got on because of some specialty -- magician, exercise class leaders, etiquette teacher (including how to act at High Tea, no less), DJs, masseuses, trivia contest directors, bingo callers, photographers and photograph printers. Go for it, Skoop!

Be careful, ladies! You may get a free cruise, but have to sleep in a cramped cabin below deck and be hounded by Commander Data.

She sent a summary of the eight questions I got wrong along with the correct answers, and that means I got all three bonus questions right to bring me up to 95%.

I already have my first director job! No money, Mac. The Thursday afternoon "fun" game is switching to a Newcomer game in March after we all get back from Albuquerque, and since I already play on the second and fourth Thursdays, I've been asked to direct.

Happy bridging, everybody!

And stay warm, Kusch -- supposed to be minus 20-something up there tonight.

Never a problem staying warm. :lol:

Congrats on the director thingie. I have great respect for all directors. Good luck going forward, I know you will do a great job.
