Here’s my daily skinny! I think it’s pretty self-explanatory 🙂 If you’d like to see a few pics or vids and vids from our unsuccessful whale-watching excursion, just click the links. The sea was pretty rough–small boat, biggish waves. The poor kids on the boat got sick several times, and their dad wasn’t having a great time either. But a day on the water is always a win.
And for lots of wonderful poetry, don’t miss the Poetry Friday Roundup with poet-antholovist May Forrest Esenwine!

Laura, I love this poem, and the concept of spyhopping—maybe the President aught to try that to find out what’s really going on…Thanks for your poem and for taking us whale watching! My post will be up later tonight, I took the afternoon off and viewed a number of exhibits at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Love your skinny, Laura! I’ve only been whale watching once, and the experience was similar to yours in that we saw very few whales. But still a unique experience.
It’s hard finding whales. I went on a whale watch over a year ago off Gloucester, MA and glimpsed a few. It’s nice to be out there anyway, even if you see only a buoy.
Pretty funny — although I’m sure it’s annoying, too!
Several years ago, I got to go whale-watching in Alaska. Your poem describes it perfectly!
