At Sea – April 20, 2018

For those who have been reading for a while, you could probably write this as well as I.

Because we are doing a great deal of rocking and rolling I did not go to water aerobics.  Juice and roll and off to Sit and Stitch.  Only a handful present.

On the way to trivia I stopped by the Future Cruise desk and picked up the itinerary for the 2020 WV.

We had ten correct for trivia but the winning team had 15 out of 17.

1)Who made the first round the world solo flight?

2)In what language was the Communist Manifesto written?

3)What do laser printers, fire escapes and windshield wipers have in common?

4)Who was the first US president to have full time secret service?

5)What is considered the beginning of a genius level IQ?

Back to my cabin to write my note about the problems with yesterday's trivia.

At Arts and Crafts we made a fairy zipper pull.

Before trivia I started a roll call for the 2020 GWV.

Afternoon trivia was much better with 15 out of 17 which tied us for first place.

1)What was the first name of Mr. Guinness who started the Guinness Brewery?

2)Which piece has to be in checkmate to win a game of chess?

3)What is the longest running event in a decathalon?

4)What was the Beach Boys’ maritime folk hit of 1966?

5) Which has the least calories per pint – Guinnes, orange juice, skimmed milk?

Went to Name That Tune and managed 16 out of 20 points by myself.  The winning team had 19.

Stephanie and Herb did not show for dinner so there was only the five of us.  I had French onion soup, Beef Stroganoff, and ice cream for dessert.

Skipped the show.
