1. Your suggestions, while often interesting, are not imperatives.
2. Chicken?! Are you off your meds again, Ed?
Really, I have no desire to sleep aboard the Constellation.
She is a great ship, a symbol of our past. But I don't
want to spend a night in the company of the souls who died
aboard her, or screamed in their agony as a surgeon sawed
off a shattered limb.
Turning her into a floating hotel is an odd perversion of her
proud history, perpetrated by bean counters with no feeling
of what this ship represents, or what she has been through.
Yes, Ed, I do have a grasp on the details -- the ones that
matter to me.
