TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2013

Back on October 19 or 20, when I visited my parents for 24 hours, during my day off from rehearsals (this is when I was in Tampa), their next-door-neighbors, the Shanahans (from Buffalo, NY) shared that they would be on the Norwegian Dawn in January.  At the time, I was only supposed to be on from Oct. 1 – Nov. 18, and then be on the Norwegian Sun.  Well, here it is, January 15 and the Shanahans are on board.  They called me (via the guest services desk) this afternoon and I suggested they swing by my office tonight, before the late show.  They did.  It was fun to see them, and I offered to give them, and the couple with whom they are traveling, a backstage tour if they wished.  We’ll see if they take me up on it.  Mrs. Shanahan had a battle with cancer about a year ago, but looks terrific!  They said they’re having a great time.  I still think it’s humorous that they’re here this week and my parents are here next.  Ah well, somebody’s gotta keep an eye on the homestead, right?
