I was four years old, close to five. I remember her. She kept her needles and insulin in our refrigerator, which terrified me. I vaguely remember the funeral service, although her body was never recovered.

I'm a pilot. I don't do cruise ships. A waste of time and resources IMHO. I do have a Sea Plane Rating though.

“I don’t do cruise ships. A waste of time and resources IMHO.”

Our daughter and SIL invited us to go with them on a cruise from Seattle to Alaska. That’s been at the very bottom of my bucket list, but we said “yes.” Once was enough. I just do not enjoy “manufactured fun” things like cruise ships or Disneyland.

Now being a seaplane pilot? That sounds like a lot of fun. I’ve taken two seaplane rides in my life, one up Lake Chelan and one from Como, Italy to Bellagio. Both were outstanding.
