Fireflies out on a warm summer's night, seeing the urgent, flashing, yellow-white phosphorescence below them, go crazy with desire; moths cast to the winds an enchantment potion that draws the opposite sex, wings beating hurriedly, from kilometers away; peacocks display a devastating corona of blue and green and the peahens are all aflutter; competing pollen grains extrude tiny tubes that race each other down the female flower's orifice to the waiting egg below; luminescent squid present rhapsodic light shows, altering the pattern, brightness and color radiated from their heads, tentacles, and eyeballs; a tapeworm diligently lays a hundred thousand fertilized eggs in a single day; a great whale rumbles through the ocean depths uttering plaintive cries that are understood hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, where another lonely behemoth is attentively listening; bacteria sidle up to one another and merge; cicadas chorus in a collective serenade of love; honeybee couples soar on matrimonial flights from which only one partner returns; male fish spray their spunk over a slimy clutch of eggs laid by God-knows-who; dogs, out cruising, sniff each other's nether parts, seeking erotic stimuli; flowers exude sultry perfumes and decorate their petals with garish ultraviolet advertisements for passing insects, birds, and bats; and men and women sing, dance, dress, adorn, paint, posture, self-mutilate, demand, coerce, dissemble, plead, succumb, and risk their lives.
To say that love makes the world go around is to go too far. The Earth spins because it did so as it was formed and there has been nothing to stop it since. But the nearly maniacal devotion to sex and love by most of the plants, animals, and microbes with which we are familiar is a pervasive and striking aspect of life on Earth. It cries out for explanation. What is all this in aid of? What is the torrent of passion and obsession about? Why will organisms go without sleep, without food, gladly put themselves in mortal danger for sex? ... For more than half the history of life on Earth organisms seem to have done perfectly well without it. What good is sex?... Through 4 billion years of natural selection, instructions have been honed and fine-tuned...sequences of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts, manuals written out in the alphabet of life in competition with other similar manuals published by other firms. The organisms become the means through which the instructions flow and copy themselves, by which new instructions are tried out, on which selection operates.
'The hen,' said Samuel Butler, 'is the egg's way of making another egg.' It is on this level that we must understand what sex is for. ... The sockeye salmon exhaust themselves swimming up the mighty Columbia River to spawn, heroically hurdling cataracts, in a single-minded effort that works to propagate their DNA sequences into future generation. The moment their work is done, they fall to pieces. Scales flake off, fins drop, and soon--often within hours of spawning--they are dead and becoming distinctly aromatic.
They've served their purpose.
Nature is unsentimental.
Death is built in.

We’re always being made promises,’ she said. ‘You make them yourself
and you listen to others giving theirs. Politicians are always going
on about providing a better quality of life for people as they get older,
and a health service in which nobody ever gets bedsores. Banks promise
you high interest rates, some food promises to make you lose weight if
you eat it, and body creams guarantee old age with fewer wrinkles. Life
is quite simply a matter of cruising along in your own little boat through
a constantly changing but never-ending stream of promises. And how
many do we remember? We forget the ones we would like to remember,
and we remember the ones we’d prefer to forget.

The scientific research is very clear that experiencing trauma without control can be debilitating. But I also worry about people who cruise through life, friction-free, for a long, long time before encountering their first real failure. They have so little practice falling and getting up again. They have so many reasons to stick with a fixed mindset. I see a lot of invisibly vulnerable high-achievers stumble in young adulthood and struggle to get up again. I call them the “fragile perfects.” Sometimes I meet fragile perfects in my office after a midterm or a final. Very quickly, it becomes clear that these bright and wonderful people know how to succeed but not how to fail.

The last time I was on a cruise it was through the Greek islands with Justin, and I was positively glowing with love and post-sex hormones.

Let me make a clean breast of it here, and frankly admit that I kept but sorry guard. With the problem of the universe revolving in me, how could I- being left completely to myself at such a thought-engendering altitude- how could I but lightly hold my obligations to observe all whaleships' standing orders, "Keep your weather eye open, and sing out every time."
And let me in this place movingly admonish you, ye ship-owners of Nantucket! Beware of enlisting in your vigilant fisheries any lad with lean brow and hollow eye; given to unseasonable meditativeness...: your whales must be seen before they can be killed; and this sunken-eyed young Platonist will tow you ten wakes round the world, and never make you one pint of sperm the richer.
Nor are these monitions at all unneeded. For nowadays, the whale-fishery furnishes an asylum for many romantic, melancholy, and absent-minded young men, disgusted with the corking care of earth, and seeking sentiment in tar and blubber. Childe Harold not unfrequently perches himself upon the mast-head of some luckless disappointed whale-ship, and in moody phrase ejaculates:- "Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll! Ten thousand blubber-hunters sweep over thee in vain. "
... "Why, thou monkey," said a harpooneer to one of these lads, "we've been cruising now hard upon three years, and thou hast not raised a whale yet. Whales are scarce as hen's teeth whenever thou art up here." Perhaps they were; or perhaps there might have been shoals of them in the far horizon; but lulled into such an opium-like listlessness of vacant, unconscious reverie is this absent-minded youth by the blending cadence of waves with thoughts, that at last he loses his identity; takes the mystic ocean at his feet for the visible image of that deep, blue, bottomless soul, pervading mankind and nature; and every strange, half-seen, gliding, beautiful thing that eludes him; every dimly-discovered, uprising fin of some undiscernible form, seems to him the embodiment of those elusive thoughts that only people the soul by continually flitting through it. In this enchanted mood, thy spirit ebbs away to whence it came; becomes diffused through time and space; like Crammer's sprinkled Pantheistic ashes, forming at last a part of every shore the round globe over.
There is no life in thee, now, except that rocking life imparted by a gentle rolling ship; by her, borrowed from the sea; by the sea, from the inscrutable tides of God. But while this sleep, this dream is on ye, move your foot or hand an inch; slip your hold at all; and your identity comes back in horror. Over Descartian vortices you hover. And perhaps, at midday, in the fairest weather, with one half-throttled shriek you drop through that transparent air into the summer sea, no more to rise for ever. Heed it well, ye Pantheists!

Quentin Schultze says that we have become like tourists who are so enamored by our mode of transportation that we cruise through nation after nation largely indifferent to the people and the cultures around us. We have our passports filled with the little stamps telling people just how many places we’ve been, but what is the purpose of being in places if we have not experienced them? And what is the purpose of knowing people if we do not care to know them on anything more than a surface level? The trend today is toward these fleeting, surface-level interactions

Ultimately, the salon, Steffens noted, helped change the public perception of Greenwich Village, although hardly in the manner Dodge had hoped. What had been a neighborhood better known for cheap rents and no shortage of decrepit apartments was becoming almost chic, a kind of Latin Quarter in Manhattan. Small theaters and art galleries sprang up, and midtown shoppers and tourists took the time to cruise through the Village for a look at the new trendsetters. Steffens did not recall it as being exceptionally fashionable back in 1911, judging his own lifestyle to be “Bohemian, but not the fake sort.” If it was not fake, it was hardly genuine, either. Steffens was not about to starve in Greenwich Village.

My twenties and thirties were contradictory decades, years when I eliminated conditions and truths that went against my grain. The value in this conservative era was that it safeguarded me from fatal character debits early in life. It was a time when I was often more concerned with not running red lights than I was with investing in the greenlights. I did what I wanted, I learned to live. I survived. My forties were a much more affirming decade, years when I started to play offense with truths I had learned and put them into action. An era where I doubled down on what fed me. The value of this liberal age was that it illuminated my most life-endorsing character assets. It was a time when I not only cruised through more greenlights because I had eliminated more red and yellow ones, but a time when I created more greenlights to travel through. A time when past reds and yellows finally turned green, as old hardships revealed themselves as good fortune, a time when the greenlights beamed brighter because I gave them more power to shine. I did what I needed, I lived to learn. I thrived. As I approach the next chapter of truths to cross, the only thing I know for sure is that I will recalibrate again,

Here am I, a little animal called a man--a bit of vitalized matter, one hundred and sixty-five pounds of meat and blood, nerve, sinew, bones, and brain,--all of it soft and tender, susceptible to hurt, fallible, and frail. I strike a light back-handed blow on the nose of an obstreperous horse, and a bone in my hand is broken. I put my head under the water for five minutes, and I am drowned. I fall twenty feet through the air, and I am smashed. I am a creature of temperature. A few degrees one way, and my fingers and ears and toes blacken and drop off. A few degrees the other way, and my skin blisters and shrivels away from the raw, quivering flesh. A few additional degrees either way, and the life and the light in me go out. A drop of poison injected into my body from a snake, and I cease to move--for ever I cease to move. A splinter of lead from a rifle enters my head, and I am wrapped around in the eternal blackness.
Fallible and frail, a bit of pulsating, jelly-like life--it is all I am. About me are the great natural forces--colossal menaces, Titans of destruction, unsentimental monsters that have less concern for me than I have for the grain of sand I crush under my foot. They have no concern at all for me. They do not know me. They are unconscious, unmerciful, and unmoral. They are the cyclones and tornadoes, lightning flashes and cloud-bursts, tide-rips and tidal waves, undertows and waterspouts, great whirls and sucks and eddies, earthquakes and volcanoes, surfs that thunder on rock-ribbed coasts and seas that leap aboard the largest crafts that float, crushing humans to pulp or licking them off into the sea and to death--and these insensate monsters do not know that tiny sensitive creature, all nerves and weaknesses, whom men call Jack London, and who himself thinks he is all right and quite a superior being.

When it hit a bump (or rolled over a body), the record would skip. At twenty minutes to midnight, the Buick pulled over to the curb and idled. Then it began to roll again.

How, then, to proceed? My method is: I imagine a meter mounted in my forehead, with “P” on this side (“Positive”) and “N” on this side (“Negative”). I try to read what I’ve written uninflectedly, the way a first-time reader might (“without hope and without despair”). Where’s the needle? Accept the result without whining. Then edit, so as to move the needle into the “P” zone. Enact a repetitive, obsessive, iterative application of preference: watch the needle, adjust the prose, watch the needle, adjust the prose (rinse, lather, repeat), through (sometimes) hundreds of drafts. Like a cruise ship slowly turning, the story will start to alter course via those thousands of incremental adjustments.
The artist, in this model, is like the optometrist, always asking: Is it better like this? Or like this?
The interesting thing, in my experience, is that the result of this laborious and slightly obsessive process is a story that is better than I am in “real life” – funnier, kinder, less full of crap, more empathetic, with a clearer sense of virtue, both wiser and more entertaining.
And what a pleasure that is; to be, on the page, less of a dope than usual.

Joe; a child running with a body burning from napalm, captured in an unforgettable photo; an enemy shot in the head or slaughtered by the villageful; one of the grooms in a mass wedding of couples, having met my mate the day before through our cult leader; an orphan in the last airlift out of a collapsed capital, ready to be adopted into the good life; a black belt martial artist breaking cinderblocks with his head, in an advertisement for Ginsu brand knives with the slogan 'but wait--there's more' as the commercial segued to show another free gift; a chef serving up dog stew, a trick on the unsuspecting diner; a bad driver swerving into the next lane, exactly as could be expected; a horny exchange student here for a year, eager to date the blonde cheerleader; a tourist visiting, clicking away with his camera, posing my family in front of the monuments and statues; a ping pong champion, wearing white tube socks pulled up too high and batting the ball with a wicked spin; a violin prodigy impressing the audience at Carnegie Hall, before taking a polite bow; a teen computer scientist, ready to make millions on an initial public offering before the company stock crashes; a gangster in sunglasses and a tight suit, embroiled in a turf war with the Sicilian mob; an urban greengrocer selling lunch by the pound, rudely returning change over the counter to the black patrons; a businessman with a briefcase of cash bribing a congressman, a corrupting influence on the electoral process; a salaryman on my way to work, crammed into the commuter train and loyal to the company; a shady doctor, trained in a foreign tradition with anatomical diagrams of the human body mapping the flow of life energy through a multitude of colored points; a calculus graduate student with thick glasses and a bad haircut, serving as a teaching assistant with an incomprehensible accent, scribbling on the chalkboard; an automobile enthusiast who customizes an imported car with a supercharged engine and Japanese decals in the rear window, cruising the boulevard looking for a drag race; a illegal alien crowded into the cargo hold of a smuggler's ship, defying death only to crowd into a New York City tenement and work as a slave in a sweatshop.
My mother and my girl cousins were Madame Butterfly from the mail order bride catalog, dying in their service to the masculinity of the West, and the dragon lady in a kimono, taking vengeance for her sisters. They became the television newscaster, look-alikes with their flawlessly permed hair.

The girl circled in my arm was clean and fresh, and her sleeping breath was humid against the base of my throat. Something stirred in me in response to her helplessness, and yet at the same time I resented her. I had seen too damn many of these brisk and shining girls, so lovely, so gracious, and so inflexibly ambitious. They had counted their stock in trade and burnished it and spread it right out there on the counter. It was all yours for the asking. All you had to do was give her all the rest of your life, and come through with the backyard pool, cookouts, Eames chairs, mortgage, picture windows, two cars, and all the rest of the setting they required for themselves. These gorgeous girls, with steel behind their eyes, were the highest paid whores in the history of the world. All they offered was their poised, half-educated selves, one hundred and twenty pounds of healthy, unblemished, arrogant meat, in return for the eventual occupational ulcer, the suburban coronary. Nor did they bother to sweeten the bargain with their virginity. Before you could, in your hypnoid state, slip the ring on her imperious finger, that old-fashioned prize was long gone, and even its departure celebrated many times, on house parties and ski weekends, in becalmed sailboats and on cruise ships. This acknowledged and excused promiscuity was, in fact, to her advantage. Having learned her way through the jungly province of sex, she was less likely to be bedazzled by body hunger to the extent that she might make a bad match with an unpromising young man. Her decks were efficiently cleared, guns rolled out, fuses alight, cannonballs stacked, all sails set. She stood on the bridge, braced and ready, scanning the horizon with eyes as cold as winter pebbles. One

The crowd
Passing through the crowded places,
Witnessing life’s contours appearing on unknown people’s faces,
They all chase someone or something,
Almost like seasons changing,
Where spring chases the summer, summer chases the autumn, that loves to chase the winter,
In crowded places life acts like seasons, sometimes in ways unfair and at times in ways fairer,
Because few faces display real smiles, while many act to smile,
It is obvious when they cant recognise their own reflections in mirrors, exuding their life’s snippets of million miles,
As they go past me and I walk past a lot of these men and women.
I feel a common thread of life with which we all are woven,
It shows in their glances and it shows in my brief scans of their appearances,
But they go past me and I walk past them to chase our own desires and our new chances,
After a while the crowd forgets about me and I too forget everything about the crowd,
A feeling of silence overcomes the scene and I can hear my own heart beats clear and loud,
Then as I walk through the multitude of life’s representations,
I feel I am walking towards some lesser known feelings, life’s new sensations,
But the crowd does not stop moving or enjoy a moment of pause,
Because everyone in the crowd has life’s contours to cross and fulfil fate’s daily clause,
That needs them in the arena of life everyday, in the form of crowd that is always moving and sometimes winning and at times losing,
But riding the life’s lure and its ocean of uncertainties the crowd relentlessly keeps cruising,
How far will each one go and how long will each one last,
Is what life wants to know, it is so today and it has been so in the past,
That is why life invented crowds where it walks beside each one of them without being recognised,
And it tried to evict me from the rhythm of the crowd because her presence I had realised,
The crowd keeps getting bigger and the pacing steps never stop,
It is autumn now, leaves are falling and many a flowers drop,
But the true season of life can be witnessed in the movement of the crowd,
Where you always have to move in some direction, whether you are someone who is hated or someone who is loved!

I have always imagined myself as becoming everything in life from a carpenter to a professor or an astronaut juggling with the seven skies, thinking high on moon, and resting under the shade of meteors. This wishful thinking in life creates a paradigm of being high on career. It sets you on a different stratum of ideas; you can’t anticipate low stuff in your life while cruising through wishfully accepted wisdom. A thought process that makes you mad, stupid, ecstatic, provides intelligent taste buds, but once perceived as such, sets your dopamine rush low and puts you in depression. On the one side you know that to become what you want to aspire needs all the knowledge and wisdom that may come through understanding of the world around us, and for that good work one million books and thousand libraries should fall on you. How much tea is needed to soothe the nerves of your brain to achieve the wisdom?

Frank’s notion of success is transformed from creating work of artistic integrity that contains the potential to change the world (act 2, scene 5) to the kind of worldly success that is marked by money, possessions, and status (act 1, scene 1), a transformation that occurs gradually through his relationship with Gussie. Gussie represents the worldly idea of success, and she positions herself with men who she thinks can help her get it. She moves from being Joe’s secretary to being his wife so as to have a producer to cast her in shows. After five flops, she desperately needs a hit that will establish her as a star, and so she initiates her seduction of Frank. This begins a triangular tug-of-war with Frank in the middle: Mary (not the oblivious Beth) trying to pull Frank back from Gussie’s sexual seduction; and Charley trying to pull Frank back from her idea of worldly success. This tug-of-war plays out through many decisions, some big, some small, not all of them Frank’s: Frank and Charley’s decision to do Musical Husbands as a vehicle for Gussie and then to do one more fluff musical, Sweet Sorrow, for Joe; Beth’s decision to leave Frank with Gussie on the opening night of Musical Husbands; Charley and Mary’s miscalculated decision to encourage Frank to go on the cruise; Gussie’s decision to leave Joe; Frank’s decision, seemingly a small one, not to join Charley and Mary at the Downtown Club on the night he returns from the cruise. Where exactly Frank could have or should have said no so as to have changed his life story is not clear. Rather, the cumulative effect of his and others’ decisions is described by the ensemble in the title song: How does it start to go? Does it slip away slow, So you never even notice it’s happening?

If there are whole parts of yourself that you are always running from, that you even feel justified in running from, then you’re going to run from anything that brings you into contact with your feelings of insecurity.
And have you noticed how often these parts of ourselves get touched? The closer you get to a situation or a person, the more these feelings arise. Often when you’re in a relationship it starts off great, but when it gets intimate and begins to bring out your neurosis, you just want to get out of there.
So I’m here to tell you that the path to peace is right there, when you want to get away.
You can cruise through life not letting anything touch you, but if you really want to live fully, if you want to enter into life, enter into genuine relationships with other people, with animals, with the world situa-tion, you’re def i nitely going to have the ex-perience of feeling provoked, of getting hooked, of shenpa. You’re not just going to feel bliss. The message is that when those feelings emerge, this is not a failure. This is the chance to cultivate maitri, unconditional friendliness toward your perfect and imperfect self.

My strength in prayer these days is scant—I’ll confess that. So for all the concentration I can muster in prayer, I must not dissipate it in seeking physical blessings only. Rather, I must spend a good portion of it seeking spiritual growth and praying for Christ’s kingdom to go forth into this dark world. For such prayers are a way for me to know God and to know Him deeper, higher, richer, wider, and fuller—much fuller than if I comfortably cruised through life in my wheelchair.

Enthusiasm for the new and the unexplored never deserted me. The streak of defiance that dictated my choices in my youthful days lingered within me as I cruised through the different stages of my life. I knew it
was time for the rebellious spirit hibernating within my mind’s cave to wake up and jump into action. What could bring more solace to me than creative expression?

As Molly wrapped one of the freshly made flour tortillas around several slices of perfectly cooked steak and piled on guacamole, she began talking. The more she talked, the faster her words came. It was as if she were afraid that someone else would say something or ask her a question. She said that she was working for a firm in Los Angeles that designed sets for television and movies.
“It’s different from what you do,” she said looking at Boomer. “Sets have to be bigger than life. They have to create an impact. Not boring stuff like the designs for offices.”
Elizabeth saw Boomer’s eyes flash, but he answered with perfect control, “What’s the name of the firm you work for?”
“It’s new; it’s going through a name change, and they’re not sure what name they’re going to settle on.”
“What movies have they worked on?”
“Oh, a whole bunch. Stuff with Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp. Big movies.

One of my favorite examples of how souls retain their personality quirks and charms happened when I did a group reading for a bunch of sisters and their mom after their father had died. His soul came through and said that when Mom goes on her cruise, he’ll be with her. He described how amazing it would be--the whole family would be on a large boat, and because it was a Disney cruise, Mickey Mouse and Cinderella would be there too. The woman was very confused, since she hadn’t planned a vacation for herself recently, much less such an indulgent one. “I don’t know what my husband’s talking about,” she said. “I can’t afford to go on a trip like that.” But her husband’s soul kept at it. He was insistent! After lots of sideways glances, the kids burst out laughing. “Okay, Dad, we’ll tell her!” they said. The girls had planned a surprise birthday cruise for the family for their mom’s seventieth birthday. “This is so typical,” the mom said. “He could never keep anything to himself!” Clearly, he’s still into blowing secrets from the Other Side.

There is no continuity to these images. They come out of time sequence, and some replay many times over. I make no effort to control my thoughts or make sense of them. I’m just allowing myself a session of melancholy reminiscing. Alone, cruising serenely through the woods, is a situation that nurtures emotional liberation. In the bustle of everyday life there is no time for frivolous thoughts. If they come, they contend for attention with thoughts of what needs to be done at work, getting the car in for service, and paying the bills.

You can't go through life watching other people have all the fun," he said. Then he leaned closer and whispered in her ear and the moist heat of his breath sent gooseflesh tingling down the entire left side of her body. "Don't you ever want to try new things? To explore and feel truly alive?"
Evelyn breathed in the cool night air, mixed with the musky scent of his shaving soap or cologne or whatever it was, and felt a dizzying thrill run through her, from the top of her head straight down to her toes. It made her want to do everything he was suggesting- and more- because when had she ever done anything new? When had she ever felt as alive as she did at this moment?
She swallowed hard over the shock of her response though she should not be surprised. He was a handsome, mysterious, virile man who sailed boats on stormy seas, looked at her with sexual prowess like he wanted to devour her, and he'd been a hero in her eyes since she was a girl. He was like no other man in the world- charming on the outside, but dark and enigmatic under the surface- and there was something about him that touched her deepest desires. The ones no one knew about. The ones she couldn't even admit to herself because she feared them.
All at once she realized the conversation had become too intimate. Yes, she had wanted to be more amiable and less aloof, but surely she had let things go too far. He was speaking to her deepest thoughts and emotions when she should have kept her guard up and maintained a reasonably safe distance at least. Especially from a man like him, who knew how to seduce and did so on a regular basis.
"I could take you," he said in a low, silken voice, surprising her yet again with his direct manner when he should not be suggesting such a thing, and certainly not like that- with such heated persuasion, as if he were insinuating all kinds of other activities that would take place on board his boat after he'd dropped anchor in a secluded cove. "I could even teach you. Show you how thrilling it can be."
There was no point pretending not to recognize what he was proposing- that they could enjoy more than just a cruise on the water.

“
Lucky people take advantage of chance occurrences that come their way. Instead of going through life on cruise control, they pay attention to what’s happening around them and, therefore, are able to extract greater value from each situation… Lucky people are also open to novel opportunities and willing to try things outside of their usual experiences. They’re more inclined to pick up a book on an unfamiliar subject, to travel to less familiar destinations, and to interact with people who are different than themselves.

That trip was epic. Every day was an adventure. Bindi sat down for her formal schooling at a little table under the big trees by the river, with the kookaburras singing and the occasional lizard or snake cruising through camp. She had the best scientists from the University of Queensland around to answer her questions.
I could tell Steve didn’t want it to end. We had been in bush camp for five weeks. Bindi, Robert, and I were now scheduled for a trip to Tasmania. Along with us would be their teacher, Emma (the kids called her “Miss Emma”), and Kate, her sister, who also worked at the zoo. It was a trip I had planned for a long time. Emma would celebrate her thirtieth birthday, and Kate would see her first snow.
Steve and I would go our separate ways. He would leave Lakefield on Croc One and go directly to rendezvous with Philippe Cousteau for the filming of Ocean’s Deadliest. We tried to figure out how we could all be together for the shoot, but there just wasn’t enough room on the boat.
Still, Steve came to me one morning while I was dressing Robert. “Why don’t you stay for two more days?” he said. “We could change your flight out. It would be worth it.”
When I first met Steve, I made a deal with myself. Whenever Steve suggested a trip, activity, or project, I would go for it. I found it all too easy to come up with an excuse not to do something. “Oh, gee, Steve, I don’t feel like climbing that mountain, or fording that river,” I could have said. “I’m a bit tired, and it’s a bit cold, or it’s a bit hot and I’m a bit warm.”
There always could be some reason. Instead I decided to be game for whatever Steve proposed. Inevitably, I found myself on the best adventures of my life.
For some reason, this time I didn’t say yes. I fell silent. I thought about how it would work and the logistics of it all. A thousand concerns flitted through my mind. While I was mulling it over, I realized Steve had already walked off.
It was the first time I hadn’t said, “Yeah, great, let’s go for it.” And I didn’t really know why.

SS Seawise Giant
Seawise Giant
Ordered in 1974 and delivered in 1979, the longest ship ever built was the supertanker Seawise Giant. Larger than the largest Cruise Ship afloat, the Oasis of the Seas, which is 1,186 feet long. She was over 1,504 feet long and weighed in at 260,941 gross tons. Having a beam of 220 feet and drawing 79 feet of water, she was so large that she couldn't navigate through the Panama Canal the Suez Canal or even the English Channel. After having been sunk during the 1980 -1988 Iran–Iraq War she was raised, renamed a few times and used for oil storage until she was ultimately scrapped in India, in 2010.

or talk about it at all. I attended board meetings and private meetings, was always by Caleb’s side at all times as we worked through each day. But I kept myself strictly professional, not uttering a single word to him unless absolutely necessary. Heck, I even made sure I was never alone in the office in places where he could sneak up on me, because I wasn’t sure if I could resist as much as when we had someone with us. So sue me. I was feeling pretty confident in how I decided to separate my work life from my personal life, and things were looking up—until I heard the screech of a car before it stopped beside me, the door opening. I’d recognize his Rolls Royce anywhere. “Get in.” I shook my head, refusing to look at Caleb. We were right in front of the building, and I could see out of the corner of my eye that people were glancing at us curiously as they passed by. “No, thank you,” I clipped out, forcing myself to be polite. “I have somewhere to go.” “I’ll drive you.” “No, thank you—” “Get in the damn car, Tessa, or I’m going to get out of this car and give you a very large gift outside for everyone to see.” I glared at him, suddenly furious. He smirked at me, and I could swear his eyes were gleaming from behind his sunglasses. Glancing one more time to check that no one from the building was looking, I hurriedly got in and slammed the door, crossing my arms and looking straight ahead. The car cruised on quickly, with none of us saying a word to each other until we exited the street. “You know, Mr. Snow, you can’t just force people to do your bidding like that all the time,” I bit out, unable to stop myself. “It’s highly unethical.” “You got in the car. And it’s Caleb. Stop it with that Mr. Snow nonsense.” It was said so casually and offhandedly that I couldn’t help but glare at him again. “I got in the car because people were going to speculate again!” “Again?” Darn it. Realizing I was saying too much, I snapped my mouth shut and straightened again. I could feel him looking at me out of the corner of his eye, but surprisingly enough, he didn’t persist. Instead, he kept driving until we were out of the city’s busy streets, heading in the direction of my apartment. That made me feel better, though I still did not let my guard down in case he got ideas of inviting himself in. But

Hitler’s notions of a social ‘new order’ have to be placed in this setting of conquest, ruthless exploitation, the right of the powerful, racial dominance, and more or less permanent war in a world where life was cheap and readily expendable. His ideas often had their roots in the resentment that still smouldered at the way his own ‘talents’ had been left unrecognized or the disadvantages of his own social status compared with the privileges of the high-born and well-to-do. Thus he advocated free education, funded by the state, for all talented youngsters. Workers would have annual holidays and could expect once or twice in their lives to go on a sea-cruise. He criticized the distinctions between different classes of passengers on such cruise ships. And he approved of the introduction of the same food for both officers and men in the army. Hitler might appear to have been promoting ideas of a modern, mobile, classless society, abolishing privilege and resting solely upon achievement. But the central tenet remained race, to which all else was subordinated. Thus, in the east, he said, all Germans would travel in the upholstered first- or second-class railway carriages – to separate them from the native population. It was a social vision which could have obvious attractions for many members of the would-be master-race. The image was of a cornucopia of wealth flowing into the Reich from the east. The Reich would be linked to the new frontiers by motor-ways cutting through the endless steppes and the enormous Russian spaces. Prosperity and power would be secured through the new breed of supermen who lorded it over the downtrodden Slav masses.

The triumph of consumerism was made possible by the related actions of schools, advertising, and media. Mass-consumer culture integrates consumerism into all aspects of life from birth to death, including, but not limited to, education, leisure-time activities, the popular arts, the home, travel, and personal imagination. Mass-consumer culture captures the fantasy world of people with brand names and fashions that promise personal transformation, the vicarious thrill of imagining the glamorous lives of media celebrities, and the promise of escape from hard work through packaged travel and cruises to an envisioned paradise.

favorite places to go when she had been a girl, and an opportunity had arisen, like a church youth group trip. The place had a beach where anyone could come and hang out, and the restaurant sat right on the water with a clear view of passing skiers and fishing boats. “There’s music on the iPod,” Grier said. “Pick something.” Andy scrolled through the song list and punched play. “I can’t believe you like country,” she said. Grier smiled. “Oh, yeah. From way back.” The song was just right for a sunny day cruising for the lake with the top down. It was something Grier almost never did. City life didn’t exactly allow for it often. Sebbie sat on Andy’s lap with his paws on the doorframe and his face pointed joyfully into the wind. They were silent until they reached the entrance to Arrowhead Point. Grier lowered the volume as they rolled down the short gravel drive to the back of the restaurant where a line of pickups and cars sat parked in the nearly full lot. Andy stared hard at one particular truck and then said, “Maybe we ought to go somewhere else.

That second time, I didn’t know what to do, and neither did Danny. I ended up having an abortion. And it was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done in my whole life. I was devastated. I did it and we both cried. We were both destroyed and not long after that we fell apart and broke up. I couldn’t live with myself. Danny went off to join the band on a cruise ship that traveled through the Caribbean. I went and traveled through Europe on a Eurail Pass for a couple of months. All the while, I could not believe that I had had an abortion. I was so upset with myself. So I made a plan. I planned and I plotted and I schemed. I pinpointed exactly when I was ovulating—I even went to Memphis first to hang out with my aunt Patsy and work out how to make it happen. It was a group effort. I had it down to a science—then purposely planned a trip to see Danny on the ship. We went to the island of Aruba or somewhere for the night. I remember getting back on the ship hoping I’d fucking done it. Danny had no idea of my plan. But I didn’t really care anymore what he thought about it. I didn’t care if he wanted to be part of it or not. I felt that I had to redeem, to make amends, because I still couldn’t believe I had had an abortion. I thought, I’m going to have this child. There is a child that I need to be having. I would be talking to the lost child, saying, “I’m so sorry, I can’t believe I fucking did that. Please forgive me and stay with me until I get pregnant again.

Can I reschedule my Royal Caribbean cruise?
Yes, you can reschedule your Royal Caribbean cruise online, through travel agents, or by call at 1-866-291-7625 customer service directly.
Planning a cruise with Royal Caribbean is an exciting experience. The thought of sailing to new destinations, enjoying world class dining, and relaxing with endless onboard entertainment fills travelers with anticipation. However, life is unpredictable, and sometimes schedules change. A work commitment, illness, family emergency, or even a change of heart may force you to consider adjusting your travel plans. This leads to a very common question among guests: Can I reschedule my Royal Caribbean cruise
The short answer is yes, you can reschedule your Royal Caribbean cruise in many situations. However, the process depends on when you make the change, what type of booking you have, and whether you purchased travel protection. In this guide, we will walk through everything you need to know about rescheduling your cruise so you can make the best decision for your circumstances.
Understanding Cruise Bookings
When you book a Royal Caribbean cruise, you are essentially reserving your spot on a ship for a specific itinerary and set of dates. Your booking includes your stateroom, dining options, and access to entertainment onboard. Because these reservations are planned well in advance, the cruise line has policies about changes and cancellations to manage demand.
Rescheduling usually means changing the date of your cruise, switching to another sailing, or modifying your itinerary. Royal Caribbean offers flexibility, but certain rules and fees may apply depending on how close you are to your departure date.
The Flexible Cruise Program
Royal Caribbean has introduced policies over the years to make rescheduling easier for guests. One of the most popular programs has been the Cruise with Confidence policy, which allowed passengers to cancel or reschedule without heavy penalties. While programs like this may vary depending on the time of booking or global travel situations, they show the cruise line’s commitment to giving guests peace of mind.
Always check the latest policies at the time of booking because flexibility may be greater during special circumstances.
When Can You Reschedule Without Penalty
The best time to reschedule your cruise is as early as possible. If you change your booking well in advance, you may be able to switch dates with little or no penalty.
For many bookings, Royal Caribbean allows changes up to 48 hours before sailing when flexible policies are in place. Under normal conditions, though, the deadlines are stricter. Often, changes are easier and cheaper if they are made more than 90 days before departure.

Does Royal Caribbean provide wheelchair assistance?
Royal Caribbean provides wheelchair assistance for embarkation, disembarkation, and onboard mobility. Call 1-866-291-7625 for special needs support.
Royal Caribbean is committed to making cruising accessible and enjoyable for all guests, including those who require wheelchair assistance. The cruise line offers several services designed to support passengers with mobility challenges, ensuring their experience on board and during port visits is as comfortable and convenient as possible.
One of the key forms of support Royal Caribbean provides is wheelchair assistance during embarkation and disembarkation. When guests arrive at the terminal, staff are available to help transport those using wheelchairs from the check-in area onto the ship. This service helps ease the boarding process, allowing passengers to move smoothly without the stress of navigating crowded or complex terminal areas. Similarly, at the end of the cruise, assistance is provided to help guests exit the ship and reach their next destination or transportation with ease.
Onboard, Royal Caribbean has made many of its public spaces and accommodations accessible to guests with mobility impairments. Elevators, ramps, and specially designed accessible staterooms allow wheelchair users to enjoy most areas of the ship comfortably. These staterooms often feature wider doorways, grab bars, roll-in showers, and other modifications that make daily life easier for passengers using wheelchairs.
While Royal Caribbean provides complimentary wheelchairs for use during embarkation and disembarkation, the cruise line does not typically provide wheelchairs for use throughout the cruise itself. Guests who require wheelchairs or other mobility devices during their vacation are encouraged to bring their own or arrange for rental through third-party providers before boarding. These external companies can deliver mobility aids directly to the ship, ensuring they are available upon arrival.
In addition to physical accommodations, Royal Caribbean offers assistance with planning shore excursions that are suitable for guests with mobility challenges. This ensures that passengers can still enjoy many of the experiences at port while feeling safe and supported.
The cruise line’s crew is trained to assist guests with disabilities and strives to provide attentive and respectful service throughout the voyage. If additional help is needed, guests can contact guest services onboard to make special arrangements or request support.
Overall, Royal Caribbean is dedicated to making cruising accessible by providing wheelchair assistance where possible and ensuring facilities meet the needs of all guests. By planning ahead and communicating specific mobility needs, passengers can enjoy a memorable and comfortable cruise experience.

Whether you're plotting a quick getaway or a big world hop, checking for time clashes keeps everything smooth and exciting. Imagine dodging delays and diving straight into the vibes. This guide dives deep into making your itinerary pop without the chaos. Let's roll!
How do travel apps spot overlapping bookings fast?
Travel apps are like your personal time wizard, zapping through your plans to flag any sneaky overlaps. Picture this: you're eyeing a flight from New York to Paris at noon, but your hotel check-in clashes with a layover. No sweat! These apps pull in real-time data from airlines, hotels, and even local events to highlight conflicts before you hit confirm. It's all about that seamless sync—think Google Calendar on steroids, but tailored for wanderlust warriors.
Start by linking your accounts; most apps let you connect emails or profiles in seconds. Then, as you add stops, watch the magic: color-coded alerts pop up for double-books or tight connections. Pro tip? Use voice commands for hands-free adds while you're brainstorming over coffee. This keeps your energy high, no frantic last-minute scrambles.
But why stop at basics? Advanced features predict jet lag impacts or weather snags that could ripple into your schedule. Say you're adding a sunset cruise—bam, it checks tide times too. Users rave about how this turns potential headaches into high-fives. One traveler shared how it saved their Rome food tour from a missed train, letting them feast worry-free.
Diving deeper, these tools learn your style. Frequent beach bum? It flags surf lesson clashes with yoga sessions. City hopper? It cross-checks museum hours against traffic peaks. Integration with weather APIs means no rain-soaked hikes catching you off guard. And for group trips, shared calendars ensure everyone's synced, turning "oops" moments into epic stories.
Customization is key—set alerts for buffer times, like 30 minutes between flights, to match your chill factor. Battery life? Most run light, so your phone stays juiced for those Insta-worthy shots. Security-wise, top apps encrypt data, keeping your deets locked tight. Updates roll out monthly, adding fresh tricks like eco-route suggestions that dodge crowded flights.
In a world buzzing with options, these apps keep you ahead, turning travel from a puzzle into a party. Call +1 (888) 283-1335 if you need a nudge on picks—they're pros at matching tools to your vibe. +1 (888) 283-1335 connects you to insiders who geek out on this stuff. Bottom line: spotting overlaps isn't just smart; it's your ticket to trips that flow like a dream. Embrace the tech, and watch your adventures level up. Who knew planning could feel this electric? (278 words)
What quick tricks avoid hotel and flight time mix-ups?
Quick tricks for dodging hotel and flight mix-ups are game-changers, keeping your trip's rhythm on point. First off, always build in wiggle room—aim for at least two hours between landing and check-in. This buffer turns "cutting it close" into "plenty of time for that welcome drink." Apps like TripIt auto-scan emails for bookings, flagging gaps or overlaps with a friendly nudge.
Layer on manual checks: jot your timeline on a notes app, color-coding flights in blue and stays in green. Spot reds? Adjust on the fly. For trendy twists, try voice assistants—tell Siri your Paris arrival, and it pings hotel confirmations. Energy boost: these habits free your mind for the fun stuff, like scouting hidden cafes.
Group travel? Share a Google Doc for real-time edits; one click reveals clashes across the crew. Weather apps add flair—link them to predict delays that could cascade into late arrivals. One hack? Book flexible options; many airlines let you tweak without fees now

Can I move my Carnival Cruise Line cruise to a different date?
Yes, you can move your Carnival Cruise Line cruise Call 1-866-291-7625 to a different date, subject to fees and availability.
Yes, you can move your Carnival Cruise Line cruise to a different date, but there are several important details to keep in mind. Carnival understands that plans can change, so they offer flexibility for guests who need to adjust their travel dates. However, the ease of moving your cruise and any associated costs depend on when you make the request and the type of fare you purchased.
If you decide to change your cruise date well in advance, especially before the final payment deadline, the process is usually smoother and may involve lower fees. Carnival typically allows guests to switch to another sailing with the same itinerary or a different one, provided that the new cruise has availability in the type of stateroom you originally booked. Making the change early is beneficial because cabins fill up quickly, especially during popular travel seasons.
When you move your cruise to a different date, Carnival may charge a change fee. This fee can vary but often is around fifty dollars per person if the change is made before the final payment deadline. If you wait until after the deadline or closer to your sailing date, fees may be higher or changes may not be allowed at all. Additionally, if the cruise you select for the new date is more expensive, you will need to pay the difference in fare.
Some promotional fares or discounted tickets may have stricter rules. For instance, certain special offers might be non-refundable or allow only limited changes without penalties. If you purchased a flexible fare, you usually have more freedom to reschedule without large charges.
It is also important to understand that other components of your cruise booking, such as airfare, shore excursions, or beverage packages, might not transfer automatically to the new date. You should confirm with Carnival or your travel agent how these extras will be handled if you change your cruise date.
To move your cruise date, contact Carnival Cruise Line’s customer service or your travel agent. They will guide you through the options available based on your booking and preferences. Have your booking details handy, including your reservation number and the new date you want to select.
In summary, moving your Carnival cruise to a different date is possible and fairly straightforward if done early. Be aware of potential fees and fare differences, and plan ahead to ensure the best chance of securing your preferred new sailing date. This flexibility helps accommodate life’s changes while still enjoying the fun and relaxation of a Carnival cruise vacation.
