Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore

...the pump ate something it really didn't like---or the motor began to die. We don't know. Norus Shinmaywa pumps are nearly indestructible...but it was more and more unhappy. BUT your friendly writer-folk are not the sort to sit and wait for St. Murphy to strike. WE...

...and back at walking. THe fact both of us were short of breath on a 4 block walk says something, eh?  

The problem with the marine tank: first of all, Jane hasn't been sleeping well---I heard her up and about at 4 am and got up to find out if she was ok; we got to talking editing, and I was half awake and feeling like crap...when we noticed the fish tank: most of the...

I think among other problems I'd gotten us too carb-short. We've been eating very little carb (I've dropped 5 pounds in a few days, but heck, I've got summer pants I want to fit into!) and I think I just over did it. Last night I added brussel sprouts, cauliflower and...

I'm tired. I'm really tired. When you have to boot up a total book to edit, and simultaneously remember so, so, so much detail, you run out of juice. I've been slogging away at the pond and almost have it perfect. And then--- I notice the marine tank is p'o'ed. I can...

I think we've found the formula. I've ordered more of one and am going to go after the other. Meanwhile I'm proofing for Jane, and the pond is requiring less and less care. It went all night with the filter in place and didn't clog. What I'm using, for those of you...

I have some hope for this new British stuff...after 2 days the water is clear for about a foot on the surface, and we only have 3 more feet to go to have it in great shape....the turnover is slower on the bottom, but it'll get there. I was fascinated by Jane's foam...

Yep. Our pond caught fire. Jane came running into the house yelling. "Fire! Get out here!" Remember how I said we were finally making progress on the spring algae bloom and I've tried so hard not to use chemicals this year, but to rely on the UV filters. Cancel that....

As the filk song has it. Jane is the builder in the house. I'm in charge of destroying things. I get tagged to kill algae, poison weeds, break down boxes...remove tile...you get the picture. So here I am trying to manage a damned sprayer the instructions to which I've...
