Okay folks. THespos is taking off on a rare vacation today. At noon, I’ll be boarding a cruise ship for a 4-day mini-vacation. I plan to be drunk the entire time.

While I’m gone…

1. Coldfire, I’m nominating you to ensure that purplebear and girlbysea make it out of [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=37646) alive.

2. Whammo, since I know y’all are gonna throw a party in my absence, I’m appointing you as keymaster. Here are the keys to my virtual place. There’s beer in the fridge. Please keep the debauchery to a minimum.

3. Techchick68, can you please feed my fish?

Thanks all. See you Monday.

Halifax travel tip: sober up long enough to visit their maritime museum. It’s got a boffo exhibit on the Halifax harbor disaster of 1917 (?), which was the largest manmade explosion until the creation of atomic weapons. It’s also got a Titanic exhibit – probably bigger today than when I was there 10 years ago.

Bon Voyage, TH!
