Gala

I was wrong.  You can be wrong once in your life.  I only saw one couple not properly dressed.  I was amazed and very happy to see most people really did follow the rules and proper etiquette.   I Think I can

The champagne they served to us before we went into dinner was disgusting.  I would guess it had sat on a table for 4 hours before hand.  It was warm and no bubbles.  This was a first for me as the champagne has always been cold and bubbly if not the best.

The Special Captain's dinner was very good and our officer at our table ordered fantastic wine.  White for appetizers and a wonderful red for the main course.  I asked the wine steward if either wine was on my wine package and he smiled and said no.

The couple I mentioned has not shown up again and Bruce came to the table  and Ada has been added since I mentioned who I was sitting with for dinner.  Joan was at Bart's table as a guest and he heads up all matters cullinary.  So Bruce, Ada, our officer and myself were present.  Bruce has turned out to be quite a lively talker and I don't think our officer has seen his type before.  A former University Librarian he seems to know everything.  I did not get on his trivia team because it had already been formed but, even though we haven't done that well as a team. we are having fun.
