People we met at our dining room on the Queen Mary 2
Our cruise was on the Queen Mary 2 starting January 3 and ending January 13. We visited several islands [link] in the Southern Caribbean and had a very enjoyable trip.

This couple and son ate every evening
Their little boy was sooooo cute,
especially when he wore his tux

Didya know?
Professional Hacker -- The 'good hackers' have an annual convention. I don't know if these fellows discussed below attend those or not.
from Yahoo News (6 Unusual High-Paying Careers): "Ever hear of a certified ethical hacker? That's the professional IT certification for a computer scientist that works as a security specialist, forensic investigator, or network defense architect for corporations, the government, and law enforcement agencies to help prevent hacking or to track down perpetrators. To get into the field, you'll need more than the hacking skills you tweaked together in your garage. Begin by earning a bachelor's degree in computer science or information technology. You can get additional online college training in network security. The top 50 percent of computer scientists earned between $97,970 and $123,900 in 2007."
