Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore
It’s a work in progress but everything should work now
I am back.
Jane spent the time trying to get the marine tank into shape: I came back to discover she'd bravely resolved the plumbing problems with the tank, moved and cleaned all the equipment, worked out the water quality problem...What more can you ask? I have more to say...
A personal note…
My mother passed away yesterday. She was in her late nineties. She stood about five four, the granddaughter of western pioneers: she was born in an Oklahoma farmhouse just after statehood, and didn't have a birth certificate until it began to matter. She grew up on...
Monday was OSG’s birthday…we just caught up…and we heard from Lynn…
...and had a real nice birthday lunch at Anthony's for Sharon, with Joan. We had the corner window seats, by the falls. Salmon fish and chips, yum. The only possible flaw in it was the chips, which, I swear I'm going to drop a note to the chef, are just too...

Jane’s doing covers again…this time for her own books.
She has a neat slideshow up on her site. And I'm going to have to design a new cover for Rusalka.

computer archaeology…what was your first?
Downbelow Station was the book that convinced me I had to get into computers. First Don Wollheim (DAW) said it was too long and maybe I didn't need all the scene-setting: you know that book has a lot of scene-shifts, some scenes only 10 lines long. So I rewrote it and...
got the pond leak stopped…yay!
We have not found many glitchs with the Savio brand pond kit. Everything has worked as advertised: it's virtually maintenance free, never has to be drained, is very, very clear to the bottom (brown-tinted, but clear)---and does not make a lot of machinery-racket or...
moon landing
www.tor.com asked me to do a short piece for their series on the moon landing. Which I did, if you're interested.
Well, we repeated the near-death experience, aka canoe trip, of 2 years ago…
And we both emerged dry and relatively rested. Only half the course was available because of bridge construction, but it was about enough: I've been so tired. But I went with OGS's husband, Steve, and Steve II, (his best buddy) in another canoe. Steve paddled. I did...
We’ve had so much fun with the cellphones page, I’m going to pose another…
...in the same vein. What is the absolutely craziest thing you've ever done that you survived? Ours was probably undertaking a 4000 gallon pond dig (most of the back yard) with a Mantis tiller. But outside of that---probably deciding in my 6th decade and Jane's 5th to...
