He said he cannot access ET, so he shot out an email to some people. I didn't read whoo all he sent it to, but I'm sure others here got it too.
Good Morning From QM2.

Hello, All: My apologies for the group email. Cannot link up to ET, so I am doing my ET posts on my laptop as I would do "live" and will post from home next week. Voyage, so far, has been perfect....and you KNOW how often that happens in my travels.
Kyle Johnstone and I are putting a good public face on ET.
MIke- I saw Ed Lavelle at a distance last night. Thanks for the warning! QM2 is about a hundred yards off the port side, right outside my window, in fact.
Plenty of rolls this time, AND they let us keep the menus. I know about 30 people on board throught ET and other ventures.
Ship bufffs with the misguided hauteur of those who speak fluent Wookiie are about, but not too many of them. Have shot a ton of video.
Kyle, Joh, Beth and I won two of three team trivia matches yesterday. One of which was a mythical "double" which meant that I amassed TWO gift shop coupons rather than one. Ended up with quite a few of the coupons, which will cut souvenir expenses greatly.
Phil- the nitrate films are doing just fine in my cabin.
Lesley- I saved the shower cap for you.
Dad-sorry I missed your call- I presume that it was you who called during the emergency drill when I could not pick up for obvious reasons.
Jason- Kyle has a surprisingly funny "evil" side under the laid back facade. We protected a lady's honor at 3am this morning to comic results....she was being stalked by a "Columbine High" sort of 20-something drunken geek, and kept mouthing "Help" at us. Will tell you the entire story later but, needless to say, it was surreal.
Black and White Ball of Cunard legend? WELL...how does a singalong on "Great Big Beautiful Doll" strike you? Even in formalwear it was....uhhh....lame. Abba Night in the Yacht CLub, simultaneous to that, was marginally better.
Off to get my head shaved.
Ciao!Jim
