Wave Without A Shore

Well, not quite, but it quit and then got very hot. I use a Dell. If you recall the viral internet pic of the Japanese businesssman recoiling in horror from a burning computer, you may remember that Dell and several other computers were getting batteries from, I think, Sony; and there was a little thing [...]

glasses. Glasses and cups of coffee. I have lost my glasses again. A-gain! I have a problem. I have a torque in my vision: my eyes switch problems at a certain distance, which means I can’t wear bifocals. A doctor who prescribed neomycin for a minor eye infection just before BucConneer nearly blinded me: my [...]

It had become a Rubik’s Cube problem. Move the wastebasket to move the box of sortables to move the chair to reach the stack… It’s a very small office for 2 people and their business records. It’s become complicated by computer bits and bobs, by research books, tax stuff, junk mail, and things that we didn’t [...]

That rascal is going to have a bunch of books, several of them brand new, going up. She’s been working on covers for the books, so she doesn’t have the text fixed yet, and in her copious spare time she’s been proofing Rusalka, but she is going to have a really big slice of the upcoming [...]

…actually installed on my Buy these downloads! page on Closed Circle. You can’t see it yet, because I haven’t figured out which toggles are safe to push, but I think I know how to make it visible.  We have the sales pitch, we have the covers, we have buttons, and all of a sudden things [...]

We’ve discovered the pond area is a good 10  degrees cooler than the front yard. Amazing. Jane had bought a bunch of sale plants from Wayside Gardens end-of-season sale. They arrived looking pretty sad, but should perk up a bit with sunlight and TLC. Hostas, heuchera, plumbago, and a couple of creeping thyme, plus a baby [...]

May 10, 2010. I’ve otherwise not been too interesting today. I spent the day typing my fingers off.

…at Walmart, and is happy. I got one that says: “Instant Pirate. Add Rum.” And I also got something I had to ask myself if I needed, but yes. I need a place for my working papers and books instead of stacking them on the floor and getting them blown about by the ceiling fan. [...]

…and Ysabel wanted under the covers. Took me a while to get to sleep considering the new room arrangement (funny thing, hotels don’t bother me)…but it works great. The koi were too cold to eat this morning. They were down at the bottom not moving, but warmed up and wanted lunch. We still haven’t heard [...]

I never really have moved in since we came to the house. My lighting hasn’t worked, never did get my pirate hat hung up, I’m using a child’s coathanging rig on the back of my door to hang adult clothing (it drags on the carpet) and the walls have gotten dusty, of all things. Plus [...]
