Comments on: Feeling Old…………….And an Interview with Carl with a K http://johnhealdsblog.com/2008/08/19/feeling-oldand-an-interview-with-carl-with-a-k/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:40:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nashville girlshttp://johnhealdsblog.com/2008/08/19/feeling-oldand-an-interview-with-carl-with-a-k/#comment-23012 Nashville girls Fri, 22 Aug 2008 11:59:16 +0000 http://johnheald.wordpress.com/?p=5017#comment-23012 Oh John, me thinks you complain too much about age. After all it's only a state of mind. I just completed the last cruise with you and here I am a 60 year old lady traveling single who met a nice gentleman traveling solo and we almost got into a little rumpy bumpy ourselves. At least there was a lot of flirting. So, you have a lot to look forward to in your golden years. By the way, we met at the adult pool on the Lido Deck. Is there no way to keep the 10 year olds out of our hot tubs and pool? There seemed to be no responsible supervision from the Carnival staff and I was astounded to see six kids of various ages eating corn on the cob in the adult's hot tub. This area should be reserved exclusively for adults; it's our only quiet place to go for sunshine and relaxation. But what a wonderful cruise and John, you are fabulous. I'm sorry to hear you won't be launching Dream next year. I'm disappointed you won't be there to entertain us. It won't be the same without you. Hopefully, I'll catch you on another cruise someday. Just a side note. We had booked a private excursion with a reputable tour company in St. Petersburg and had no problems at all disembarking or with customs. Everything went very smoothly. Keep up the good work. Oh John, me thinks you complain too much about age. After all it’s only a state of mind.

The Hebrew spelled out in the photo reads “Yizkor,” which is a verbal form meaning “remembrance.”

My wife & I were on "The Miracle" out of New York with Karl soon after its maiden voyage. Karl's parents were on the ship. The combination of Karl, CD Todd Witcom & Big Tex was the best we have had on five Carnival Cruises. Congratulations to Karl, he earned the promotion. I'm looking forward to learning who will be the CD on "The Inspiration" on November 8th. Beautiful ship, great food , etc. are nothing without a great CD & staff. Gary John,

I just want you to know that I so enjoy your blog. I do not miss a day of your great wit. I was so happy to read that you may be on the Liberty next summer as we have booked the Baltic cruise for August 25, 2009. I am so enjoying your daily descriptions of the ports and especially the crussengers. Don't even think of stopping this blog. Marie John:

That author/biographer obviously didn’t possess enough talent or didn’t want to exert any type of effort in composing your tale. Given a suitable writer…… your story could be spun into an intriguing and entertaining read………Almost like a 3 ring circus….In ring 1 Regis throwing tantrums … in ring 3 Howie Mandel being a royal snob…….and in the center ring…..Mrs. S. Nob’s pretense on being queen B of the universe scoffing at the rest of the world because they are so beneath her…..Good Times…Mark The Flying (Circus) Dutchman The life and times of John Heald.

Great news for the folks in Mobile and New Orleans. What is going to happen to the Holiday once she leaves Mobile? I can't believe all the changes. Thanks for another great blog today and cheer up!
