"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Ports Report


Us and Them
Originally uploaded by kuyman

I asked our favorite trombone player to write about his schedule. Here is what he shared:

Sunday is LA, Monday is at sea, tuesday is Cabo, wednesday is Mazatlan, Thursday is Puerto Vallarta, and the rest are sea days. I play in what is called in the production band. We play for the singers and dancers in the stage shows. We also play for the Welcome and farewell shows. We generally do two 45 minutes sets with a 45 minutes break. The are anywhere from 7 to 10. We also do a big band show on friday after our production show. That's from about 10 to 12. We generally do the same things in each port, yeah. There isn't exactly a lot to do. I usually try to get something good to eat, and spend some time in the sun, or use the internet.

Sounds fun, don't you think?

Thank you to kuyman for sharing this photograph on Flickr.
