The Wonders of Cruising
Here are three cruising stories from the Dogologues.
I wouldn't <i>exactly</i> call them trip reports - but every word is true. They are my report of MY trip, anyway. You might find them amusing. Of course, cruising is wonderful. I was just err... unlucky.

thank you tri - I was a little concerned about bunging this in here, 'cos I know how enthusiastic you all are about cruising. Me too - it's just that every time I go on one - it's <i>hell on water</i>. lol.
Ages ago, I put 'Death by Azamara' in Cruise Critic and they deleted it in about four seconds. lol. So far, so good in here.

lol sorry Dayenu. Try increasing your viewing size. See that little 100% sign down the bottom right corner?
You're only the second one to have problems with this. Well, only the second one to tell me. Short of changing the format, I don't know how to fix this.
If you're really keen, I'll E-mail them to you. Just try and squint your way down to the 'comments' and leave me an addy.

Figured this out - if I highlight, copy to Words - I can read black on white.
I wish I wouldn't! It sounds not like described with humor, it's like the author's hobby is to find something negative about everybody he met!
Sorry, I'm out. You all carry on!

Under Appearance on your Wordpress dashboard you'll find "Themes" - if you pick a different theme you'll get different colors. Someone I follow on Twitter asked for opinions on white-on-black today - uniformly negative response.

Oh, lol - emoticons - err... no. I was kinda hoping that people would get the meaning from the words, rather than a little smiley face. lol lol lol. I always thought that was the art of it...
but no matter. I'm glad you popped back Dayenu. But I think you have to put your happy hat on to read these stories - they really aren't written as revenge. Actually, I tried to write them with love - and a certain blind acceptance... until they really got up my nose.
The reality of writing is that if there isn't any conflict, there really isn't much of a story. So if I dwell on the more err.. extreme of my characters - that's where the narrative is, that's where the jokes are, that where the amazement lies.
So pop the happy hat on and try again. Or, if you like, go read some of the other thirty stories in the site. You'll see them if you click here:

I've had a lot of hits from your guys. Thank you. Even Dayenu will be happy now. No more grey on black! lol. More to come soon from Papua New Guinea and Burma.
Two more river-cruise stories from India added, as well as some pictures. You'll see there has been progress at the site.

No, Dayenu. But I think the links have changed. The site has gone thru mucho renovations. But don't concern yourself. It's always a thrill to hear from you. The link above gets you there with one click - but you might get confused by all the pretty pictures. As I KNOW you want to finish off every last word, this link will get you directly there:
