\\nMark\'s mom comes to visit. They set off for a pleasant train ride to a pumpkin patch and end up in a maelstrom of political campaigning. True story! Mark also had dinner with legendary cartoonist Chris Hart.\\n
\\nStacey was off galavanting with Jamaican goats. More precisely he went on a Caribbean cruise. Loads of medication prevented sea sickness. Take that Ahab! He also faced the perils of tubing and climbing waterfalls without a safety net.
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n\\nJamaican Death Falls!
\\n\\nLuckily Stacey got to hold hands with a sweaty man who saved him from almost near certain peril (maybe).

\\n\\nLove in the Time of Dinosaurs by Alexandria Constantinova Szeman
\\nThis is a collection of short stories and poetry that we delighted in reading. When confronted with beautiful language and Old Testament references, it\'s best to just luxuriate in the prose. Clearly a book for fans of literature and good writing everywhere. It\'s not often that we find stories that take such magical but unflinching examinations into the lives of famous characters like Lot\'s wife, fictional footnotes like Ahab\'s wife and even nobodies like Auggie Vernon.

\\n\\nThis book is so good, we are extending an invitation to Alexandria to be interviewed on a future SOJCast. That\'s a SOJCast first!

\\n\\nStacey climbs aboard the floating feast that is a modern cruise ship (Freedom of the Seas). Check your stateroom for towel monkeys or towel elephants (they will wear your shades). Also they have been known to steal your towels.
\\n\\n
\\n\\n
\\n\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n\\n14 decks of floating feasts with a Johnny Rockets on the top deck. Nice. Italian, Steak, Indian, Chinese, Buffets, take your pick. Your Macedonian waiter will be happy to assist you further.
\\n\\n
\\n\\n
\\n\\nThe Best things we ate this week:
\\n\\n
\\n\\nTartufo. A dessert so good, Stacey forgot to take a picture before he zoomed through the thing. Happily for us, it was a cruise ship and he was able to just order up another.
