Alaska Cruise with Ivan Pecel 2008

Ivan and I had been talking about doing a cruise together and/or shooting another instructional video together for a while, but we finally got around to doing it in the summer of 08. I flew up to Juneau and met Ivan's ship in port. The ship, a Royal Caribbean Radiance of the Seas, just knocked my socks off. Talk about luxury and size. After a brief interlude with the sphincter police, I was aboard and the filming/party began. 7 days and nights of hard-core box action, broken up only by eating, drinking, working out, and the occasional lunch box. Seeing the Hubbard Glacier and going undefeated at foosball for the entire cruise also remain fond memories for me. My father passed away about month before this, and I credit my time on the ship with Ivan as restoring some of my balance and my joy of juggling. Ivan, thank you my brother. I owe you more than I can say. As for that box video, you ask? It's coming...just you wait.
