Next-to-the-last day of the cruise. Spent the whole day at sea today, on our way from St. Thomas to the Bahamas, sailing past and north of our previous stops at Puerto Rico and Grand Turk. This meant more panels and activities today, and some great panels they were, including one on the realities of political […]
Almost wrote “day 6” up there, but then realized I was a bit ahead of myself. Arrived in St. Thomas (USVI) relatively early this morning — around 7:30 or so. Sandra and I opted for a bit more leisurely activity today: a bus tour of parts of Charlotte Amalie (the capital of St. Thomas) and […]
At least, I think it’s day 4. The days are all starting to blur a bit; I’m grateful the ship changes the carpets in the elevators every day to let you know which day it is, or I’d be even more blurred. Great times, great sessions. Andrew McCarthy and John Yoo; Bernard Lewis and Victor […]
The internet is still flaky and slow (and will undoubtedly be so until we arrive back in Florida on Saturday). Another great day, which started with our ship arriving in port for the first time since leaving Florida on Saturday: Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos. This morning, Sandra & I went ‘power snorkeling’ (think: snorkeling […]
I’d like to post more, but the onboard ‘net access is expensive, slow, and flaky. Great sessions today: Jay Nordlinger interviewing Fred Thompson and John Sununu about running for president; a rather frank panel discussion on the potential 2012 Republican candidates involving John Miller, Tony Blankley, John Fund, Mona Charen, Robert Costa, and Raph Reed; […]
It’s 10:30 or so at night, and we’re miles out to sea. It took longer than expected to get onto the ship, but we’ve been exploring it since we got here. No sessions yet, though I think there is a late night gathering of some sort. We did, however, find ourselves standing behind Cal Thomas […]
I’m posting this entry from 30,000 feet (and how quickly that has become commonplace). My sweet wife Sandra and I are sailing on the National Review Cruise tomorrow — seven days of traveling around the Caribbean while listening to and hobnobbing with people like Mark Steyn, Fred Thompson, Jonah Goldberg, Victor Davis Hanson, James Lileks, […]
…you probably just didn’t expect it to be so well done. Hat tip to American Digest. ..bruce w..
The second personal computer I ever owned[1] was an Apple II, with no floppy drive. I bought it, along with a small color TV, from my close friend Robert Trammel while we were both living in Houston sometime around 1980.We had already spent hours together programming on it, then carefully (though not always successfully) saving […]
…here’s where I come out on the Political Compass Test. About where I’d figured, given the questions. ..bruce w..
