Today's Nautical Questions: Some retired people live on a cruise ship full time, as doing so can cost about the same as assisted living. If money were no object, would you consider such a thing? Why or why not? Nope. I'd rather live somewhere where family and friends could visit.
Are you a late filer or are this year's tax filings a done deal for you? Done deal.
What's one of your weirdest food cravings? I really like crispy toast with butter, ketchup and black pepper.
It's Auctioneers Day. What's something you'd like to auction off to the highest bidder? My watercolor and acrylic paintings -- I have about 100 unframed small ones tucked into a couple of portfolios. I know when I die they'll probably end up at Goodwill.
Location: The Circle City. Sometimes NE of Bagdad.

Why or why not? While it does sound enticing I would pass on the opportunity. After one cruise years ago I determined it just not for me. I'd rather fly/drive to a destination.

If money were no object, would you consider such a thing? I'm a long way off from retirement, but it sounds intriguing. Why or why not? Travel the world and your hotel travels with you. Extra (Tax) Credit:

I would.
Why or why not?
I think it sounds like fun for a while anyway. When you get tired of it, disembark and go home.

Today's Nautical Questions: Some retired people live on a cruise ship full time, as doing so can cost about the same as assisted living. If money were no object, would you consider such a thing? Nope. Why or why not? I love traveling, but love having a home even more. I like having roots in one place.
Extra (Tax) Credit: The Taxman. If you take a walk, he'll tax your feet. But first tell us, are you a late filer or are this year's tax filings a done deal for you? I file as soon as I receive my W-2 from my employer. This year I received my state refund on February 1 and my federal refund on February 3. Such a deal! I suppose after I retire, though, I won't get much of a refund, if any. In that event, I may wait till the last minute to file.
Foodie Q: What's one of your weirdest food cravings? Olives. I love to snack on olives, green or black.
Just for fun: It's Auctioneers Day. What's something you'd like to auction off to the highest bidder? An antique matchlock rifle that belonged to my dad.
Today Includes: Auctioneers Day I like to attend auctions. Husband Appreciation Day No husband here. McDonald's Day, 1st franchise opened at Des Plaines, Illinois in 1955 Yuck. Record Store Day I was in a record store a few months ago. Nice to know they're still around. In this area, turntables and vinyl albums have made a bit of a comeback. World Art Day, DaVinci's Birthday I saw some beautiful art during the past couple of weeks, while on vacation.
