Wave Without A Shore

Jane, here. Have a dilemma, a time limit, and no brain. We've been having problems with our modem. I have to take it apart, blow on the contacts and reset it every few days. We got a notice from Comcast that our modem was outdated. I ordered the replacement and it...

Gran's Cranberry Sauce...not jellied. A hand-cranked meat grinder works better than a blender, but either will do. (Blender gets things too 'same' and too fine.) Back off and use blender very slightly. You want chunks, not a puree. 2 packets cranberries. Discard green...

I think ours is going to be chili size...ie, a can of chili over spaghetti, topped with jalapenos, cheddar, and a dollop of sour cream. This is Jane's favorite, and I think I am just about able to deliver that. The traditional dinner just isn't going to work, this...

We have thrown the two levers that shut off water to the yard, opened the outdoor taps wide, plus unscrewed the less-than-dime-sized little screw plugs that let air into the pipes for the winter, to drain any low spot and dry them out. One thing we absolutely...

Like whack the tops off the iris and drain the outside faucet lines: our fence is held up right now with a block of wood and some screws, and we're hoping it lasts through the winter.

The 'common cold' is about 200 different viruses, so I hear, and lasts around 7 days or so. Well, type B flu remains the chief suspect, because I'm still symptomatic (cough-cough) and it's been, what, since this onset, about Wednesday before this last Wednesday?...

I saw a tweet on FB from someone attending that showing, so it's my impression that all went well. Thank goodness. I've reached the stage of the crud in which I pile pillows into a huge mass, with the two new heavy ones as the core of the mound, and sleep...

Peter Beagle and company had a special showing of The Last Unicorn last night---and while the event went well---weather did not cooperate. We're hoping everybody got to Seattle this morning: they had to get there by nine, because a mis-shipment of the film for a...

I had to take Jane in for her mandated endoscopy: it took forever--and somebody had to be there to drive her home because of the sedation. So I walk in when it's over, and she's semi-awake. Asked me more than once "What time is it?" If you don't know how funny that...
