    Excellent pic, Dave.

    I'm pleased the trip went well and just as pleased you are back.

    This was my third cruise--and by far the best yet.

    My last one was on Holland America, I took my wife to Alaska up the inside passage to Skagway and then via bus over to Whitehorse in the Yukon, then to Fairbanks on the Alaska highway, down to Denali and then via train to Anchorage.

    I did not like the cruise portion at all---it ignored everything that was going on around us. It seemed somehow phony.

    My first cruise was a long one--28 days on the Pacific and then they dropped the anchor---told us to get off on the boats pulling up next to us---and then the bastards pulled up the anchor and left---took me a year and a half to get back home

    While you were gone National Geoghraphic had an article on white asaragus. You missed it

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep,

    The entire country is a spargel festival---and I am all in! I did not get my fill---but then again I don't know that that is possible

    500g is a good start to a nice meal
