A tea boy was delivering the orders of the customers. Suddenly I asked him to look at me. He looked at me and I captured him.
The expression on Foxy's face : What do you want from me ?!..
Zoals we in goed nederlands zeggen : wat mot je joh?!...
I don't remember what it was they were looking at but their expressions on this photo really stood out to me. Took this in Bryant Park.
Mal de Mer is a French expression for a common malady that is familiar to those who set sail on the high seas: specifically, the dreaded SEASICKNESS!!
When one begins to feel a ship starting to rock 'n roll beneath one's feet, and a queasiness wells up in one's stomach, combined with a light-headed dizziness that suddenly sends one's head into a spin cycle, it is likely that it is only a matter of time before one finds one's self leaning over the side of the ship and upchucking lunch and everything else that one has consumed over the past 48 hours and more. Similarly, just staring toward the ocean's horizon as the boat bobs up and down can produce the same effect.
Becoming seasick is a vicious cycle as even after one has emptied the full contents of one's stomach, one continues to have the urge to puke and suffers unrelenting gut-wrenching dry heaves while one's head continues to spin. Depending on one's circumstances, one might prefer death rather than continuing on. The amazing thing about seasickness is that it completely subsides once one sets foot on dry land again. Within minutes, it's all over. Just like that! . . .Poof!! . . . Praise the Lord!!! It seems like a miracle!
One might suspect that Joni is speaking from experience, . . . . and she is! Been there; done that as they say. Anyone who has ever experienced seasickness can relate to what I am talking about.
Fortunately, neither the wife nor Joni was afflicted with the dreaded mal de mer on their cruise, but it must be noted what we cheated a bit. We used Dramamine, a product that can ward off or moderate the ills of seasickness, although not necessarily prevent it. The size of the ship is a major factor. Generally, the larger the ship, the less likely one will become seasick, however the susceptibility of any individual to seasickness will vary and if the sea becomes sufficiently unruly, even dramamine won't help.
Joni had sailed on cruise ships on 5 prior occasions and had never become seasick, but she was well aware there is always a first time. For the most part, Joni tolerates the vagaries of the sea well. Once upon a time, Joni's younger male alter ego even thought he was immune from becoming seasick, as he would occasionally go out fishing on the ocean on party boats and the like without incident, while others chummed away. However, Joni's younger alter ego eventually discovered that he wasn't immune from seasickness the hard way. One night the young alter ego went out on an 8 hour bluefishing trip, but no sooner had the boat left the inlet, it encountered a couple of large ocean swells and Joni's younger alter ego was soon leaving a trail of chum on the ocean's surface. The fact that he was still confronting nearly 8 more hours before the boat would return to its dock only made things worse. If the boat's captain would have allowed it, he would have jumped overboard and tried to swim ashore to end his misery one way or the other. The alter ego learned that his first bout with seasickness was no fluke when he suffered a similar fate a few years later when the ocean unexpectedly turned rough. Thereafter Joni has learned to not challenge the seas without some product that will hopefully protect her from the misery of mal de mer. . . .at least most of the time!
On a serious note, Joni would recommend that anyone embarking on a cruise should take precautions against seasickness. Neglecting to do so may severely jeopardize your enjoyment of your time at sea.
One might wonder why Joni has launched into this dissertation on seasickness. Well, this short video was supposed to be a simple selfie photo, which Joni took with her cell phone camera, but somehow it became a two second video, not unlike a GIF. If one blows the video up to full screen, it will continue to repeat itself, and if one manages to overlook Joni's pretty blue eyes and focus instead on the ocean's horizon, with its repetitive up and down motion of the ocean, in combination with Joni's head snaps, it may produce a headache and dizziness not unlike what one might experience on the ocean and lead to a simulated seasickness. . . . Or maybe one will simply get sick and tired of Joni! . . . Oh, perish the thought!
