Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore

It’s a work in progress but everything should work now

 

Finally rained-upon and smoke-free

Every year that we can, I like to take the Coeur d'Alene lake supper cruise for my birthday, with friends, and we are booked with temperate and clear weather, which is nice, because I like to do it in the open air of the upper deck, where we do get wind. And because...

8 lbs in a week exceeds what the docs say is safe…

The new laptop arrives Monday… 🙂

When I told them fast, they believed me. It'll be an i7---this is an i5. Win 10, which I will, well, see about. And I have gotten Carbonite straightened out. It took me 2 days to locate the phone number to reach a live person, but when I did he was excellent, and had...
