To Quit or Not to Quit - November 5


I have been contemplating not going to trivia anymore.  It really isn't much fun playing alone.  One of the best things about trivia is being able to bounce ideas off of each other and often coming up with an answer.  I finally decided to keep going (at least for now) in hopes that I will hear something that will help me when playing trivia on the world cruise.


I did not go to crafts today and swam instead.  There was a major breeze out and I had to put a small table on top of my shoes so they would not blow away (I had that happen once).  With the breeze, the sun did not seem so hot.


After 4pm trivia, I sat out by the Lido pool (which is partially covered) and read some.  I then tried to print something in the library but the printer was out of paper.  I went to Guest Services where I was told someone had just gone to put paper in it, so I went back to the library - still no paper - so I gave up and did my four laps around the Promenade deck.  There were still two security men out scanning the sea.  


Pete was back at dinner tonight but Sherry was not.  I skipped the show tonight and took a lap around the deck.


As the day ends, we are entering the Arabian Sea which is a part of the northern Indian Ocean.

4 pm trivia - I had 10 out of 18 and the winning team had 15.

1.  What is the only rock that floats?

2.  What is the collective name for a group of cobras?

3.  Which country comes last alphabetically?

4.  In what country was the first motorway built?

5.  What two words are combined to make the food "Spam"?



1.  pumice

2.  quiver

3.  Zimbabwe

4.  Italy

5.  spiced ham


Smooth sailing until next time!
