Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore

Reading the current manuscript on the trip---as I did, now and again---persuaded me I have to do a fast re-edit. This is the book I was working on when my mother passed away. I dropped a few stitches, as you might imagine, so I am going to do the things it needs. For...

Glug. No nicer than the RadCon Convention Crud. The best prescription tends to be Benedryl plus Sudafed and Advil. I've tried everything else, but this at least lets me breathe. I'm grumpy when I can't breathe. I can tolerate a headache, but breathing is my basic...

We left Spokane WA at about 6:30 am on Wednesday, having delayed a day to let a snowstorm roll over our route. My philosophy is 'chase the weather, don't run from it,' because it will give you spectacular camera fodder. We drove to the Tricities...

I couldn't resist.

It's still a little stiff, but I'm the one who can loosen a keyboard right up. Bigtime. And reversing buttons on the mouse made things behave sanely. I hate trying to drag anything by curling my thumb under my hand to push and hold a stupid button. Whoever thought of...

...and it is void of all my programs and settings. This is going to be a slow build. All the conveniences I have set up over the last 6 or so years are not here...not to mention my programs, like word processsing, etc. Win 7 is pretty doggedly determined you are going...
