Wave Without A Shore
It’s a work in progress but everything should work now
82000 words. I’ve written my little fingers sore. Well, that and…
...jigsaw puzzles. Online jigsaw puzzles and codebreaking is my downfall... A pretty routine day, just more to do than any 6 people can do. Plus Jane has launched us on a housecleaning kick: a room a day. I fear I didn't do a whole room---I've been tackling the...

81,000 words and we are beginning to make sense of it all…
It's been very hard to keep my focus and my momentum due to circumstances you all know, but I think I am over the hump and still making sense. I'll of course do a running rewrite to be sure everything makes the sense I think it does, but I think I am on track. I wish...
officially, I am learning to upload to the Closed Circle site, and Lynn and I…
...are exploring the architecture. Frequent e-mails, and substance is happening as she and I figure out what we want to do and where we need to put it to have that happen. I don't think you can see much of it yet, but there is stuff happening behind the curtain. We're...
The fish are basking in renewed summer…and I am a tad too hot…
I try to keep an ear to the pond when I'm near it, and with warm weather comes clogged filters. I heard the telltale pitch of the pump motor last night when I was going to bed, so nothing would do but go out there in the tatty red robe we use for hair dye and barefoot...
working on CC and the swine flu…maybe
It's not going to be too hard, actually---once I learn to tie pages together. We now have the print color straightened out. If the size is still too small, it's CSS and you should be able to scale it up, but if not, tell me and I'll fix it from my end. I'm working on...
Nostradamus and nonsense…
Oh, you're going to hear a lot of it approaching 2012. And I just saw one of the most atrocious pieces of reporting on the History Channel: they ought to be ashamed of themselves. a. Ever actually read Nostradamus? He lived during the Black Death and right next to...
a new perspective on emigrations and other mass movements…
You learn things chasing ancestors..things that aren't in the history books, nor quite spelled out in anthropology texts. American kids hear a lot of Pilgrims seeking religous freedom in the Colonies, and not a great deal about the English Civil War, phase 1 and phase...
76048, and FINALLY! I had a great day writing.
I've spent the last few days outlining to the end (after remembering what the end is, and relocating it); and simultaneously recovering the blown-up 72 generation, 40,000 person genealogy file, bit by painful bit... It's funny. So much of the database work (genealogy)...
So what hobbies do you have, or would you like to have if you had time?
You pretty well know mine: I figure skate, I dig ponds, I keep a reef, I look up ancestors, I look up other things, I follow physics and archaeology and dabble in languages, I draw, I photograph, I travel, I like code, crossword, and jigsaw puzzles, particularly the...
Did the official rump-session b'day party—on the water on a 40 foot—
well, party-boat. They have cruises out on Lake Coeur d'Alene, a little while out of reach of cell phones and with a nice lot of water and scenery round about. Good food and a nice sit on the upper deck for, yes, a three hour cruise. Jane and me and OSG. OSGuy was...
