Day 81 - Thursday, March 27th, 2025 – At Sea
This day was a little more exciting than the previous day, but not by much. Again, we went to 14 for breakfast. I think we're doing this so we can sleep in a little longer and avoid the meat locker of the restaurant on the 7th floor. They have a decent selection. I don't know if the food quality is any better or worse than seven. Obviously, we don't get the table side service, that's not a big deal.
When we are on our way up to 14, we ran into one of the poker players that said they only have seven players for the 11:00 tournament. As it turns out, we were done with breakfast at 10:45 so we wandered by the casino just as the tournament was starting. They had an open seat, so I decided to take it. Mary had her hair color and cut appointment 11:00 so I would have just sat in the room anyway. In hindsight, maybe I should have stayed in the room. I ended up bubbling, which means I was one place out of the money. That's the worst place to be.
I then called Mary to see if she wanted to play in the 2:00 tournament. She said she couldn't because she was in the middle of cut and color or is it in color and cut. My first thought is who cares. So, I decided to play the 2:00 tournament. I had to sit down there from 1:00 to 2:00 and not do too much of anything, but I'm good at that anyway so I managed. The result was a little better. I made it to 3rd place which was $75. That means for the two tournaments I only lost $45.00. That helped my overall bank though.
We went back to the cabin after playing cards. We both rested for an hour or more. You know playing cards is pretty challenging on the brain. It's not so much physical work but it can make the brain hurt.
We cleaned up a little bit and went to dinner at 6:00. I had chicken satay which was pretty good. Also had a salad. For my entree I had baked mahi mahi. All of it was very good. For my dessert I had the apple pie. I’ve had better apple pie.
Continuing her trend of cold soups, Mary had the cherry cold soup. She loved it. She had her salad times two. And she had pasta for her main meal. It was red sauce. It was good. For her dessert she had watermelon sorbet.
Today. I hope you don't think we're getting boring. We have a lot of exciting days coming up, including tomorrow.
