I had no idea what to do with myself this morning, that is what happens when the skiing is over and I am tired from hiking yesterday and I don’t have to be at work until the evening. So, I figured, what better time to go see the new StarTrek movie (http://www.startrekmovie.com)? Everyone has been…

Copenhagen, Denmark

Warnemünnde, Germany
Stage Manager’s Log M.S. Prinsendam Thursday, July 6, 2006 Warnemünnde, Germany Today was very different from most days as we had no show. Instead of a show we had Bierfest on the Lido Deck. So that is a great thing because no show means no rehearsal. So effectively I had a day off. In the…
