New years

Well, tonight is new years eve. Unlike Christmas, I don't have anything fancy planned. I didn't even get off the ship today. We have a soundcheck, 2 shows, and then we're playing a formal big band dance tonight for midnight.

However, I am famous. Or, I will be. They had me record the bell chime sound for midnight on the ship. They'll play that over the ship-wide intercom. So...I'm famous.

Fortunately for me, we're still an hour ahead of NY. So, what the ship is doing is celebrating midnight and then at 12:45 moving the ship's clock back an hour and celebrating again!

I know I don't write a lot, but honestly, my days have been: wake up, work out, eat, lay out, study a bit, eat, play shows. Doesn't leave much to write about. I haven't really gotten off the ship much. I think next cruise I'll try to go to the beach in St. Maarten and St. Thomas.

happy 2010!!!

Fun facts from 2009: I spent almost 4 months of the year in total on a cruise ship - my complete earnings this year came from working as a musician - I visited about 10 different countries - I ate wings almost every wednesday apart from the time i was on a ship and i was working on my brief wing experiment - I became an in-state student in Ohio - I made Passover dinner without any help for the first time - I had my 10 year high school reunion (but didn't go) - I won my 2009 fantasy football championship -


What are your 2009 highlights?

  2. Spent another year reflecting on my kid's accomplishments and feeling great about what an amazing pair I was partly responsible for creating.

    My New year's resolution:
    - I will try very hard never to mention
    MR. tICKLE again...
    - I will try even harder not to frustrate my daughter..
