Broadening the mind at sea?

And so we have set off across the great blue Atlantic to make our way to Europe. Yes, I did not write yesterday as I have started night shifts.

But today, in an ongoing vague attempt to improve myself and to keep my mind functioning in this mind numbing industry that they call the cruise line industry, I have decided to upgrade(?) my laptop to a linux operating system. I have decided to use the Ubuntu distribution as it seems simpler to install and use. I am a wannabe geek but I just lack the patience or is it possibly the intellect? Well, lets leave that question up to the philosphers. Anyhow, for those who are vaguely interested, I will keep you updated on my happy adventures into Linux land.

The great thing about sailing to Europe is that our whole clientele changes. The majority of our guests are elderly, educated and a lot more sophisticated than the general Caribean visiting mob we get. Unfortunately, the casino takes a big hit , because not everyone is here to gamble. The Europeans, in general, do not gamble as much as the Americans. So we are in for a quiet crossing and at some stage in our sea voyage we will lose transmission of Fox News Network!! What a glorious day that will be!
