Wave Without A Shore

...woke up this morning (after a lovely New Year's, thank you)---hearing some professor on the military channel (Battles BC) proclaim that Julius Caesar went to Gaul as a completely inexperienced novice senate appointee who had never been in the field. Hello? First of...

We really wanted to go join the local filk group: the downtown Opening Night theme this year is the Universe, and the filk group has a gig on in the celebration, but I'm still prone to tire out: mineral levels, electrolytes, or whatever: yogurt is helping, slowly,...

It was up for a vote on Christmas night. I usually drink box Chardonnay---Chard isn't the fussiest of white wines, and Jane doesn't always drink it, and bottled wine is spendy; you have to have a pricey re-corking device to keep it well, the little vacuum sealer you...

Hi, everyone. Jane, here. CJ asked me to post that she had a wonderful Christmas and will be back as soon as she's recovered from whatever zapped her last night. Either a little bug or something she ate has had her down for the count all day. Can't even blame it on...

It was Mike Briggs' birthday. We drove down to Mike and Patty's house---it was a costume party; we were pirates. And we had filk, food, and fun while waiting for the end of the world---which of course fizzled. We stayed the night, had a very nice breakfast, Jane got...

Foreigner-in-audio is not a 'read' type audio: this is like watching a movie with your ears, professional level movie audio with actors: let your imagination paint the pictures. This link is to a community developing at that site, and if you 'like' it you stand a...

...I'd gotten her a simple Kenmore that should have just sewn a simple seam, eh? Couldn't work one day before it started making a loose-cam sort of sound and skipping stitches. THAT's being returned to Amazon, practically a round trip. As happens, we spotted a good...

And most of the CHristmas decorations are up. We had one oops last night, a vase set too near a door --- which I knocked over; but it's a metal vase and the greenery is all fake---us allergy sufferers can't use the real stuff. But Jane's got the place looking like a...

So far, so good. One load washed. Squeaky clean, no fuss, no bother, glasses sparkling. The dish-loading is quite different: but we'll figure it out. They also recommend Finish additive---and when Jane and I thought this over, and thought over the local water, this...

A real picturebook snow. We thought we were going to go out to dinner. I don't think this is likely.
