Thanks for the heads up Cynic...I guess I'll have to record them. I saw The Secret World of Cruise Ships a few months ago and it sure is good and informative.

Who cares! I want Captain Stubing and Julie. Not cruising as it is, but cruising as it SHOULD be!! Sexy officers, romance, smiling staff, perfect weather, huge cabins, good food and service! Not to mention that all your problems are solved by the time you disembark.

Sunday night there is the second half of a glorious version of Anna Karenena on Masterpiece Theater on PBS. Reading is another of my joys and Anna was one of my favorite books and I will bypass more media nonsense about cruise ships and cry over Anna as she throws herself under the train!

I like to read too and in fact I work for a book publishing company. But I think that y TV viewing tastes are more in line with Anne.

Although seeing a train accident almost qualifies for guy style viewing...

And don't forget Charo will always be on-board!

(And, come to think of it, Isacc never seemed to ask for your "sail and spend" card either. Hmmm ...)

But this is British TV which when good is head and shoulders better than ours. And Anna Karenena is one of the great novels of the world. I KNOW what cruising is like. I only know about Russia in the 19th Century from what I read about it, so Anna still wins hands down IMHO. And I'm most definitely not a guy. This is a classic story for romantics of either gender although I suspect women love it more than men do.

I was being ironic Carole...I bet it was wonderful. We watch Masterpiece Theater and the like often. Maybe the best movie I've seen in a while is Chocolat.

Last night though we watched X-Files...although Becky fell asleep.
