I highly recommend "Shameless" Dane, if you aren't already watching it.

Suze and Nick, congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

I have one more night away from my darling wife and adorable cats.

Right now, I am on a train heading for Bellingham, Washington.

5:51 PM and all is well!

Hey Bandi honey,

We had the best day ever and I honestly don't think that anyone missed the alcohol. We swam off the side of the boat, we had a BBQ onboard and listened to some music/ had a dance!!! It was a red hot day so just perfect on the water.. I have taken so many photos, and made many more family memories....

The sacrifice that my Parents made yesterday was HUGE. They drink a lot of alcohol themselves on a normal day (daily drinkers) so to say that they would rather have a sober day to support me (and my boys) was enormous. I would never expect anyone else to go without alcohol just because I have an issue with the drink but they INSISTED..

They even stocked the bar on their boat with all varieties of flavoured mineral waters, juices, and soft drinks, and I noticed that they had obviously had all "alcoholic" glassware removed too....

ahhhh I feel soooooo lucky and blessed, and actually very emotional over the whole day!! (in a good way of course) xxxx

Hi,
Late again, I was talking with my Mom about our upcoming cruise in February. We're both SO excited to see my son/her grandson working on the Ship!
Time to check in for the next 24 hours, thanks to my HP, AA, & SR.

My partner was offered, and accepted, a permanent position at his company yesterday. He's been on a temporary contract there for 9 months. I'm just bursting with pride. It's such a wonderful opportunity for him and he so deserves it.

Another 24 hours please.
