Ed felt queasy as the discussion continued.
“It’ll be fun,” Edna said. “The trip of a lifetime. We deserve it.”
Edna continued to leaf through the fancy brochure for the Mediterranean cruise sponsored by their college. She was ready to sign up.
Ed’s mind drifted back nearly fifty years. Stormy seas. All hands on deck. Double shifts. Sea rations. Spot inspections. Navy regulations.
“Can we, Ed?”
“Huh?” Ed returned to the present and saw the anticipation on his wife’s face.
“What do you think, Ed?”
Ed’s eyes became large as his stomach rumbled. “I think I’m going to be sick.”
